f r om t he

As we celebrated Little City’s 55th year of service, together with friends like you, we have redefined the “New Little City” – a vital andvibrant community offering a comprehensive scope of services and amenities to individuals with intellectual and developmentaldisabilities. Our campus is alive with stories of stunning successes and triumphs.

Throughout this annual report, we invite you to explore the lives of our children and adultsimpacted by our programs. Little City is more than a place with a mission. It is a caringcommunity filled with options, opportunities, hopes and dreams.

The Home-Based Support Services program is completing an impressive SilverAnniversary – 25 years of service – in linking families to needed resources, therapiesand educational advocacy. The Center for Employment & Business Opportunitiesprogram enabled 155 individuals with disabilities to find and maintain employment thisyear. The Center for the Arts continues to produce award-winning “Art Brut,” which hasbeen exhibited around the world.

Little City continues to identify and expand services to advance our mission. We arepleased to announce the opening of the first two of six planned homes in the DuffeyFamily Children’s Village – Larry’s Home and the Foglia Home – which recently became home to 16 children with autism.

At Little City, there is no finish line. Our goal is to make tomorrow better than today. The only constant is our desire to change andimprove. We do so by continually making great strides to further enrich the lives of those we serve and to help them flourish.

Thank you for your support, your time and your talent as we continue to grow in our mission and define and refine the “New Little City.”

Yours in service,

HOME-BASED SUPPORT SERVICES

Services are consistent with current best-practice models,which maintain individuals in the community while increasingcompetency in all areas of functioning. Certified professionalstaff provide goal-oriented, person-centered services in the

home or in a community setting.

Home-Based Supports can includelinkage to community services,educational advocacy, assistance withactivities of daily living, counselingand training for family caregivers, andbehavior intervention and treatment.

For adults, supports focus on socialskills building, building friendships andteaching skills of daily living. The

program collaboratively works with the Center for Employment& Business Opportunities to help link individuals toassessment, job coaching and employment.

The Home-Based Support Services program is celebrating its25th anniversary and serves more than 110 families throughoutthe Chicagoland area each year. Individuals range in age fromthree to 45 years.

and strengthen relationshipsAdvocacy is defined as “active support” – which is the primaryfunction of Little City’s Home-Based Support Services Programthat preserves families, strengthens relationships and enhancesfamilies’ well-being.

Angela is 20 years old and receivesHome-Based Supports from Little City.She is a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay,and she loves Disney characters.

While in high school, Angela sang inthe chorus and was on the pep squad.Since entering her transition programat school, she has been employed ata food pantry, worked at the front deskof her local YMCA, and she is currentlyworking at a TJ Maxx/Home Goods store.

One of the biggest challenges parents face is the lack ofunderstanding from others of what they experience daily. TheHome-Based Support Services program lets parents know that theyare not alone in what they may be experiencing. There may bestruggles with the educational system, diet, exercise and in manyother activities of daily life.

More than 1,000 individual and group volunteers worked on one-timeand ongoing projects, giving their time and skills to help supportchildren and adults served at Little City. Hundreds helped with specialevents like the Hot Chocolate Walk for Little City, thanking walkersand manning the first-aid station. Many completed gardening andpainting projects at Little City’s 15 community-integrated homesacross DuPage and Cook County and on campus.

Little City has a baseball diamond again, thanks to the tireless effortsof many corporate groups and the youth from the Summer YouthEmployment Program. The diamond was repositioned, reconstructedand beautified for an improved playing experience.

creating forever familieshousing. Most importantly, Tony, Sr. never missed a visit withhis son. Through these consistent efforts, Tony and Tonycreated a mutual bond based on love, affection and respect.

“I like the work Little City was doing. They had your back andwalked me through it. They told me everything they weregoing to do. They stood there with me like a sister or a brother,and gave me a lot of knowledge. Without them I don’t think Icould have done it,” commented Tony, Sr.

When Tony, Jr. is asked what it’s likeliving with his Dad, he says, “Good,”with a big smile on his face.

Little City’s Center for Familyand Community-Based Servicesrecruits and supports foster/adoptivefamilies to provide loving homesfor children with autism and otherintellectual and developmentaldisabilities. Last year more than50 children were served.

Both Tony, Sr. and Tony, Jr. have much to celebrate this year. Notonly do they share the same birthday, but they got the best presentthey could have wanted – to become a family again.

“Getting him home was a good feeling. It brought a lot of joy tome, to see him know that Mom may not be here but I’ve got myDad,” expressed Tony, Sr.

The first six years of Tony, Jr.’s life were marked by turmoiland instability, eventually leading to his removal fromhis mother and placement intofoster care. For the next two years,Tony, Sr. committed himself 100%,knowing he wanted to do right byhis son. He actively engaged intherapy, where he learned newtools in order to become astronger advocate for his son’sspecial needs.

TH ESE ART I S TS

Little City artists are showcased in more than a dozen exhibitsacross the country each year. As a group and as individuals,our artists have exhibited in museums and galleries aroundthe world, and their work has become part of permanentcollections of museums, corporations and individualcollectors.

A one-of-a-kind documentary, “Share My Kingdom,” providesa glimpse into the compelling life histories and the artisticcreations of three artists with intellectual and developmentaldisabilities: Harold Jeffries, Wayne Mazurek and Luke Tauber.With no formal art education or training, each transforms hisvision into inspiring artistic works.

In 2014, “Share My Kingdom” was screened at the AthensInternational Film and Video Festival, Athens, Ohio and at theLos Angeles Diversity Film Festival, Los Angeles, California,and at many local showings in the Chicago area.

i l l u s t ra t e t ha tcreativity has no disability

Outsider Art or Art Brut, meaning “art uncooked,” is pure,

powerful and meaningful. This art is produced entirely for

individual fulfillment, without regard to exhibition, fame or

monetary reward. It is defined as artwork by artists who are not

formally trained, and are working outside of the art world.

Little City’s Center for the Arts has given individuals with

disabilities the opportunity to explore their creative talents,

allowing for a new channel of expression.

Professional art facilitators work with Little City artists each day,

helping individuals to push the edge of the artistic envelope and

to strive for innovation. They may suggest that a piece of artwork

is finished when they see it has reached an optimal point in its

development. This is an important function, as so many of our

artists are more engaged with the act of creating than they are

with the physical item being created.

THE

fi·nan·cialsSince 1959, Little City has provided innovative programs and services that foster development and personal fulfillment for the children

and adults it serves. To do so, Little City relies on government funding and direct contributions from individuals, corporations

and foundations.

In fact, 85 cents of every dollar directly support first-class programs and services for hundreds of children and adults in need. Little

City must raise an average of $10,000/individual/year* to maintain the quality of life desired for each child and adult at Little City.

Beyond the state-required minimal standard of care, Little City’s quality-of-life standards encompass programs and services that foster

a life of health, recreation, education and culture that protect one’s rights, beliefs, choices and aspirations.*

*The shortfall is due primarily to less than full reimbursement from the State of Illinois for services rendered, but also due to Little City’s commitment to a quality of life.

The pie charts provide a breakdown of Little City’s operating expenses and revenues for Fiscal Year 2014 datingJuly 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
