Mission

We empower participants living with mental illness through individualized housing, employment, and clinical services so they can achieve their goals and live as independently as possible.

About

Established as Housing Options for the Mentally Ill Evanston in 1988, Impact’s founding was a response to a need for supportive housing for adults living with mental illness as a safe and dignified alternative to homelessness or institutionalization. For more than 36 years, Impact has been providing mental health services and affordable supportive housing, growing from a single apartment building with no case management services to possessing nine buildings and utilizing an additional 26 scattered site apartments in privately owned buildings.

Now, Impact serves over 1,400 individuals throughout Chicago and its north and northwest suburbs.
