L'Arche Chicago is a nonprofit community-based organization in the field of individual and family services, operating four homes in the Chicagoland area where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and work together. Core members contribute to daily life by participating in activities such as shopping, cleaning, cooking, and sharing meals and celebrations, while assistants provide support for daily living as needed. The community welcomes individuals of all ages, races, genders, faiths, and sexual orientations, with applicants joining for personal growth, career changes, or after college, and assistants being sought throughout the year based on need. Based in Forest Park, Illinois, the organization emphasizes inclusive living arrangements and mutual collaboration as central to its model. A recent development noted is the launch of a spring appeal in 2018, reflecting ongoing fundraising and community engagement efforts.
