Location:

3249 N Central, Chicago, IL 60641, US

Mission Statement

LAN 63 believes in the development of services that focus on the strengths that exist in families and their connections to their community. Our efforts are guided by a strong commitment to the following:

• Co-ordination between agencies, community organizations, and families for the planning and delivery of services. Children and families benefit most when their support network comes together.

• Both the child’s home and community provide the most natural and least restrictive setting for growth and change.

• Parents are key to the success of a child and the LAN seeks their active participation.

• Our families and communities are rich in their differences of culture, race, and religious affiliations. We learn best from families about the supports that they need.

• Children and their families are unique and have the right to have services tailored to their specific needs.
