Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) Homes
CTF Illinois (CTF) has 32 community homes and serves over 230 people residentially within our CILA program. Each of our homes are adapted and personalized to meet each resident's style, as well as their physical and emotional needs. Individuals share their home with 2 to 7 peers and take an active role in all activities within their home.
CTF implements person-centered planning by which services within the home are developed based off the residents' choices and needs. Our trained staff will teach and guide the individuals to be as independent as possible, learning new skills in self-care, cooking, cleaning, money management and how to be a good citizen. CTF homes have 24 hour supervision provided by trained staff that are dedicated and passionate to see that each individual reaches their goals while ensuring a safe environment.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
CTF ILLINOIS (CTF) is dedicated to empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to create pathways toward independence, a higher quality of life, and economic prosperity. Our person-centered programs provide educational tools for empowerment, with services including art programs, vocational training, advocacy efforts, residential services, social opportunities, community support, substance abuse treatment, group respite supports, and more, all designed to meet and evolve with the unique needs of the people we serve. We are strong supporters of individuality and firm believers in hands-on learning, with all of our programming guided by our mission to empower each person we serve to live the life they want to live and our vision to create a culture where people are not defined by their differences, but recognized for the value they bring their communities.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
CTF works to accomplish our mission by helping participants achieve the following: LIVE. WORK. ADVOCATE. It is our belief that these three goals are the first steps towards living the independent lifestyle that adults with disabilities want to live.
LIVE: Adults with developmental disabilities deserve equal opportunity in the communities where they live. To help achieve this goal, CTF provides Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) homes to allow individuals to live with their peers in an independent home setting. Together, they learn important life skills like cooking. cleaning, and financial responsibilities, and spend time getting involved in their communities through various outings and other recreational activities with the support of a qualified staff member.
WORK: CTF's Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) program offers work opportunities and vocational training to participating individuals. We believe financial independence empowers people to experience community contribution in ways that encourage growth and happiness. We also assist individuals through a variety of day training programs that focus on teaching ways to improve communication, relationships, emotional development, and helpful, self-sustaining skills like using technology and public transportation.
ADVOCATE: Education is our strongest tool, which is why we encourage volunteers to get involved with our advocacy center. There, we can help break stigmas and teach people about the importance of equal treatment both in the workplace and in daily life. We also empower individuals with disabilities with knowledge about how to advocate for themselves, so they have the tools to create social change, leading to a more accepting culture.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
