Committed to improving the quality of life for Chicago’s low-income elderly, Housing Opportunities and Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) helps seniors remain independent and part of their community by offering opportunities for intergenerational living and by providing a variety of citywide support services.

H.O.M.E. owns and manages buildings that are dedicated to the concept of intergenerational living: elderly residents and people of other ages live together in a way that supports the elderly person's connection to the larger community.

Programs offered by H.O.M.E. include the only free citywide moving and relocation services for the elderly, a furniture donation program, free shopping transportation services, volunteer services, and upkeep and repair services for elderly homeowners in the city of Chicago. Our newest program, Home Again, helps capable seniors leave nursing homes by connecting them with support services for independent living in the community.
