Hope for Tomorrow,
a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was established
in October 1999 to meet the incredible demand for residential services
in Kane, Kendall, DeKalb, and DuPage County. While working as an Alcohol & Drug
Counselor at an extended residential treatment facility, our founding
president, Jeff Gilbert, witnessed many of the same individuals bounce
back and forth from the streets, to jails, to institutions and back
to treatment. Some ended up in prisons, while others languished on
long waiting lists for a residential bed, and others died before they
could return to treatment. Those who successfully completed short-term,
highly-structured programs were often sent to transitional housing
with virtually no structure or supportive services. A facility providing
the appropriate level of care for this population simply did not exist.
Jeff, his wife Janet, and Jeff's mother, Carolyn Duetsch, opened Hope for Tomorrow, Inc. to fill this
void in the Continuum of Care.
Today, Hope for Tomorrow serves as a “ beacon
of hope” to the hundreds of men and women (and their families)
we have assisted in “ building their lives around their recovery
not their recovery around their lives."® We are the only community-based
facility of our kind providing a unique combination of clinical and
spiritual guidance in conjunction with permanent supportive housing.
Our mission is to help the chronic substance abusing, chemically dependent
individual fulfill their needs to grow, to develop into what they are
capable of becoming and to ultimately develop a life based upon truth,
goodness, wholeness, justice and order, richness and totality, and
self-sufficiency and autonomy.
We provide professional clinical services to individuals regardless of race,
ethnicity, age, creed, sex, sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status, or financial ability
to pay.
