DEVELOPER INFO:
The Children’s Place Association (CPA) is a safe haven for children and families whose lives have been devastated by illness and poverty. Since opening in 1991, the organization has helped more than 2,000 Chicago-area children and adults affected by HIV/AIDS or other serious health conditions. Services include residential care with 24-hour nursing, specialized early childhood education, summer day camp, mental health counseling, foster care/adoption, supportive family housing and more. In 2007, the organization launched Children’s Place International to bring vital services to children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in other regions of the world. This is CPA’s second project with Lightengale Group.
