Our Newly Renovated
Home To Assist Homeless VETS!
America's
military personnel are relentless in their
sacrifices to our nation. In return, we, as
a nation, are indebted to the well-being of
all veterans. America needs to band together
to ensure that we meet the needs of every
veteran as they return “home” from war.

Executive/Clinical Director
Who We Are & What We Do
Hope for
Tomorrow, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit
social services agency that operates six (6)
highly-structured, clinically-guided,
substance-free homes, in Kane County,
Illinois, for fifty-three (53) adults
suffering from the disease of mental health
(post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety
disorders, and major depressive disorders)
and/or chronic substance use disorders
(alcohol, opiates, cocaine, prescription
pain medications…).
Hope for Tomorrow's
program goals are to reduce homelessness and
substance abuse, prevent relapse, identify
and treat mental illness, and aid
reintegration into society. Our
treatment approach encompasses not only the
symptoms of the disease (active addiction)
but, more importantly, it addresses root
causes such as trauma, shame, abandonment,
loneliness, emptiness and sexual abuse. Hope
for Tomorrow’s belief is that in order to
fully recover from a hopeless state of mind
and soul individuals must “Build their lives
around recovery instead of building recovery
around their lives”®.
Our mission is “to teach individuals with
homelessness, mental health disorders and
chronic substance abuse issues how to
successfully and permanently reintegrate
into society”. We are committed to the
belief that incorporating a comprehensive,
recovery home approach to the treatment of
homelessness and addictive disorders
produces an accountable, responsible,
productive, and self-sufficient lifestyle
that benefits not only the individual, but
all of society.
Hope for Tomorrow does not discriminate and
provides services to all persons regardless
of race, ethnicity, creed, sex, sexual
orientation, HIV/AIDS status, or financial
ability to pay. We offer a tangible,
replicable, and solution-focused approach to
an intensifying psychosocial problem.
Hope for Tomorrow is the only agency of its
kind in the City of Aurora, as well as
Kane,
Kendall, DeKalb, DuPage, Will, Grundy, Lake,
McHenry, and Winnebago Counties to
offer uniquely licensed Recovery Home
services to the intensifying epidemic of
substance abuse and mental health disorders.
Our goals are to holistically address the
following community needs, all of which are
identified as “top ranking priorities”
in the City of Aurora, Fox Valley United
Way, & Kane County’s 2010-2014 Consolidated
Plans:
A) Reduce
the use of mood-altering substances in the
Kane County and the surrounding communities.
B) Reduce
dependence upon state and local welfare
programs.
C) Reduce
homelessness in the Kane County communities.
D) Reduce
crime, incarceration rates, gang
involvement, sexual assaults, and
substance-seeking criminal behavior.
E) Reduce
domestic violence, child abuse/neglect, and
dissolution of marriage.
F) Reduce
incidences of suicide and homicide in the
Kane County communities.
G) Reduce
occurrences of mental health disturbances
(e.g., major depressive disorder, bi-polar
disorder, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic
stress disorder) in men, women, and U.S.
veterans.
H) Increase
employment among vulnerable populations.
I)
Increase
reunification of families and returning
healthy/substance-free parents to their
children.
J) Increase
tax revenues by transforming addicted
individuals (which drain the state, local,
and governmental budgets) into productive,
employed, responsible, law-abiding citizens
in the community.
