Opportunity House has provided alternative living, education and employment for persons with intellectual disabilities since the early 1960's; and the organization is taking its next big step...as it moves to consolidate.

Bob Shipman from OH says its facilities are spread out among two different buildings; but beginning in February, everything will be moved under one roof at their site at 357 North California Street in Sycamore. The newly-expanded facility will have more space available for its industrial and educational uses.

These offerings are provided in conjunction with the communal and home-based living groups, as well as the social and recreational offerings provided (including Special Olympics).

An open house will be held at the new California Street expansion on Thursday, February 16th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
