Horizon House of Illinois Valley, Inc. (HH) first opened its doors in 1969. At that time, there were 13 people with disabilities, two paid staff, one blue bus and a budget of $23,000. Today, HH has flourished into multiple sites operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year primarily in LaSalle and Bureau Counties.<\/p>\n
Horizon House has not only changed in size, but has also changed drastically in the scope of services for people with disabilities. In the first years of HH, the program was essentially an activity center where people made crafts, worked on puzzles and played games. Today, services emphasize acquiring skills for living and working more independently within the community. HH is dedicated to providing the highest quality services in the most integrated settings possible.<\/p>\n
Our staff all work toward a common mission: We are dedicated to providing high quality, effective supports with compassion, expertise, flexibility and creativity. The supports we provide are structured to allow the men and women we serve to have opportunities to live, work and play in the community.<\/p>\n
Horizon House has a history of commitment and caring. A volunteer Board of Directors governs the agency. For over 50 years HH has been a part of the Illinois Valley. The support of the community has been vital to our existence and success. The Illinois Valley has opened its doors to the men and women we serve and welcomed them as friends, neighbors and colleagues.<\/p>\n
