Centerstone provides a variety of housing options for adults with mental illness and/or intellectual or developmental disabilities.
Mental Illness Group Homes
Centerstone has MI group homes in Franklin, Jersey, Madison and Williamson counties. Centerstone’s group homes serve adults ages 22 and above who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, such as depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or schizoaffective disorder. Residents must have Illinois Medicaid or Managed Care and either SSI or SSDI.
Individuals in the program learn to develop skills to meet goals that provide resiliency. The Residential Supervisors work with individuals to increase skills in the areas of daily living, symptom management, health and nutrition, and social/interpersonal. The residential program helps individuals have a positive sense of well being and affords opportunities to return to work and school.
Rent-Assisted Apartments
Centerstone offers permanent housing for adults with serious mental health conditions in the Metro East and Southern Illinois regions. Rents are assisted by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Due to the high demand for such housing, some buildings might have a waiting list.
To qualify for permanent housing, applicants must agree to provide evidence of their disability, income, criminal, financial and housing history. Some facilities do require residents to be Centerstone clients.

Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA)
Centerstone has CILAs for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities in Franklin and Williamson counties. Houses are owned or rented by either Centerstone or the individual. These homes are located in residential neighborhoods to provide individuals access to fully integrate into their surrounding communities. Individuals work with their team to develop programming of their choice and help them maximize independence.
Centerstone has CILAs ranging from 2-8 person houses in the community. Each home is accessible to meet the needs of residents. The homes are staffed 24 hours a day by professionally-trained Direct Support Persons.
Intermittent (CILA)
Individuals live in their own home and have Direct Support Professionals available as needed. Individuals continue to work on programming of their choice to further their independence.
