Lighting the Path to Independence: The Launch of Logan’s Place
Governor JB Pritzker, in collaboration with Unlimited Potential House (“UP House”) and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), has unveiled a beacon of hope for young women transitioning from foster care to independence. Named “Logan’s Place,” this new transitional living facility in Blue Island is more than just bricks and mortar; it’s a launching pad for young women stepping boldly into the next chapter of their lives.
A Sanctuary for Growth and Empowerment
Logan’s Place stands on the grounds of the former Mother of Sorrows Convent, transformed into a nurturing haven for up to 50 young women aged 17½ to 21. This isn’t your average residential facility; it’s equipped with a rec room, theater, art room, and lounge. It’s about creating an environment that fosters personal growth, well-being, and a little bit of fun.
