HOW DO I BECOME A RESIDENT?

LifeHouse Group currently accepts individuals leaving the Illinois Department of Corrections and approaching their time on parole. The process of finding housing placement usually begins around 30-60 days prior to an offender’s release date.

In order to secure placement at LifeHouse, a currently incarcerated individual must complete the following these steps. For more information or to request placement, feel free to complete the Application Form or contact us at info@lifehouse-group.com.
