One Family Illinois is a Chicago-area nonprofit in the field of individual and family services that operates licensed foster homes within a village-style care model. The approach centers on keeping siblings together, placing children with full-time, licensed foster parents in private single-family homes, and mobilizing a coordinated, community-based set of supports to help youths heal and pursue permanency. It runs four sites, including three village programs serving sibling groups in Lockport and Chicago, with openings dating to 1993, 2004, and 2014, and Casa Tepeyac, acquired in 2011 to provide preventative and in-home services in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. The organization reports strong outcomes for its youth, including a 90% high school graduation rate, well above the foster-care average. It has earned external recognition, such as Candid's Platinum Seal of Transparency in 2023 and a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, and it previously operated under the name SOS Children's Villages Illinois.
