Victory Centre

Located in the Village of Bartlett at the intersection of West Bartlett Road and Route 59, Victory Centre is a full Continuum of Care campus with a 104-unit Supportive Living Facility (SLF) and an independent senior living facility with another 104 units. In 1999, the North West Housing Partnership (NWHP), a nonprofit organization specializing in developing senior housing in Chicago’s north and west suburbs, acquired the site from a Bartlett resident. NWHP’s goal was to build a campus that could provide for all senior needs, which led them to partner with Pathway Senior Living, a senior housing developer that had the SLF license required to provide the necessary senior services.

The SLF building has 40 one-bedroom and 64 studio apartments, with six different floor plans to choose from, ranging from 385 to 621 square feet. The independent living building contains 94 one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 632 to 928 square feet. Each SLF apartment has a kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave and sink, while the independent living apartments have a fully furnished kitchen. The SLF building has a full-service dining room serving three meals a day, a full-time nursing staff, library, outdoor patio and many common areas. The independent apartment building offers amenities such as an exercise room, a beauty salon, library and shared common space.

187 of the 208 total units in Victory Centre are affordable to households with incomes up to 60% AMI– including all104 apartments in the supportive living facility and 83 apartments in the independent living facility. As residents age and spend down their assets, any remaining income is transferred directly to Victory Centre to pay for rent and services. Each resident keeps $90 per month of his or her income and the rest is given to Victory Centre to cover rent and services. The Department of Health and Family Services reimburses Victory Centre monthly per resident.
