Our Children’s Homestead (OCH) believes that every youth, despite their troubled past, deserves the opportunity and is capable of developing healthy family relationships and participating in typical life experiences.
For the past 22 years, OCH has played an integral role in supporting Illinois' most traumatized foster youth; serving over 1,000 foster youth since 1995. OCH has matched over 200 youth with disabilities from across the US with adoptive parents, who gave those youth a forever home.
Our mission is to build a strong, stable, foundation of support for each youth we serve, and develop opportunities that enable them to discover and sustain a positive life.
