About Children’s Home & Aid

Children’s Home & Aid is a leading child and family service agency in Illinois. We help children recover their health, their hope, and their faith in the people around them. 

For 138 years, we have shown up for Illinois families. We are in the places where it’s proven to be the most effective: at home, in the classroom, and in the community. We are an agency that puts families at the center of every decision and believe that communities where we all work, play and live together can be strengthened through data-informed, collaborative and preventative solutions. Our offices are located across Illinois and serve nearly 30,000 children and families each year in over 65 counties, linking them to a network of resources.

Learn how our evolution as an organization has informed our mission and vision through the years and drives our aspiration to see every child, every family and every community thriving.

Our Strategic Plan

Our strategic plan, rooted in the guideposts of our Blueprint for Impact, centers everything we do around an intentional focus on prevention, family well-being and strengthening and a focus on racial and social equity. This is our pathway to creating brighter futures and opportunities for children and families to thrive.
