Help increase independence. Submit a referral.
Completing the online referral is the next step toward increasing independence for you or someone you know. Simply answer each question and submit the form. If this referral is not for yourself, please make sure that the person you are referring knows that we will be calling and why.
Your support goes a long way.

Community Support
Ways to encourage more assistance in our community for those in domestic violence situations:
Encourage local shelters and hotlines to specifically train staff to work with victims and survivors with disabilities.
Encourage shelters, social service agencies and hospitals to develop a referral list of organizations in the area that specialize in the intersection of domestic violence and disability.

Home Services PA Update:For any PA's or Consumers in the PA program. We received the following message from Illinois Department of Human Services
Dear Individual Provider,
We wanted to inform you of an issue concerning your January 28, 2022 paycheck. A computer glitch caused all payments that are normally sent to the HSP debit card to be issued in the form of a paper check. The glitch did not impact the calculation of the payroll; therefore, we expect that all IPs will be paid in full.
We recognize this might be an inconvenience for you. To ease potential hardships and give you time to prepare, we will be issuing your paycheck early. These paper checks have already been placed in the mail. You may receive them as soon as January 24, 2022, barring any delays with USPS.
Please be sure to check your mailboxes at the address you've previously shared with your DRS local office. If you are concerned that DRS may not have your correct address on file, please reach out to your DRS local office immediately and request a change of address. Once the change of address is complete, we will do everything in our power to reissue your check to the new address.
We sincerely apologize for this issue and will ensure it is corrected by your next scheduled pay date.
