At Little City, we actively promote choice and person‑centered planning and we take pride in our residential offerings. This spring, Little City will break ground on two new children’s homes, which will revolutionize the way people look at environmental care for children with autism. Whether their home is an apartment complex on a beautiful 56‑acre campus in Palatine, or a two‑ story home next to yours, the children and adults at Little City are good neighbors. They take pride in the beautification of their home. They want to feel included at community events around them. They appreciate a good, neighborly conversation.

Your support helps provide choice and a selection of residential offerings: 1. The Community Living Facility (CLF) offers apartments with a private bedroom and bathroom with a community kitchen and living area similar to many college dorm rooms; residents receive 24‑hour support.
2. The Supported Living Arrangement (SLA) offers apartments for people with mild‑to ‑moderate challenges who live by themselves or with a roommate.
