South Side Location
Chicago, IL

Bonaventure House opened its doors in March of 1989, serving as a facility that was neither hospital nor hospice: it was a home for people with AIDS and a resource center that provided counseling and an array of supportive services. Bonaventure House now offers supportive housing programs and focuses on transforming the lives of our residents by helping them transition to independent living. Programs managed here are our Transitional Living Program, Transitional to Permanent Housing Program and Samaritan Housing.

Modeled after Bonaventure House, The Harbor opened its doors in 1998 as a transitional living facility in Waukegan, IL. With eight beds, The Harbor provides housing, supportive services and spiritual care, helping individuals reach independent living.

This is ABAM's first facility on the South Side of Chicago and will provide supportive permanent housing for men and women with disabilities. The South Side facility has 23 studio apartments, common meeting spaces, offices for counseling and support staff, and laundry facilities.
