The Community Integrated Living Arrangement Licensure Act (Act)
(Title 59: Mental Health, Chapter I: Department of Human Services,

with a mental or developmental disability. The Act requires CILA
programs to meet certain requirements so that participants have safe
and stable housing arrangements. The Act also requires CILA
programs to provide services to assist participants in achieving
independence in daily living and economic self-sufficiency. The
Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) is the state agency
given the authority to enforce these standards. Under the Act, a
community mental health or developmental services organization
may obtain a license from IDHS to operate a CILA program.

The Supported Living program supports individuals who live in
apartments and in homes by themselves or with others. This
program provides ongoing instruction and encouragement in
budgeting, shopping, community integration, taking medications,
planning meals, public transportation and more. The level and type
of assistance is based on the individual's need and abilities. The
frequency of client instructor visits vary from once a week to every
day. Some of the individuals come from the 24-hour residential
program after gaining more independent living skills and reaching a
higher comfort level in living without full-time staff support.
