Here are the hard facts: One in four Chicago adults are living with a disability, and the majority live on the South and West sides. That’s according to a new report released this month by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD).

The goal of the report is to provide Chicago leaders with information and data that can inform their plans to improve neighborhood conditions for people with disabilities.

“We cannot do a good job as public agencies if we are not listening, if we’re not learning, if we’re not documenting the realities of the people we are supposed to be serving,” said Simbo Ige, commissioner of the city’s Department of Public Health.

Envision Unlimited staff and members brought a taste of New Orleans to our Rose Center last week with an authentic Mardi Gras dinner! 🎭✨

This annual, lively event highlights our culinary arts program and celebrates our dedicated community partners. Our members are involved in the entire process, from project planning to preparing the meal and serving guests.

This year’s delicious menu included mussels, coleslaw, crawfish pie and – of course – king cake. Here are just a few of our favorite highlights!
