Join Us and Make a Difference

Together, we can move toward a more inclusive future. Let’s ride, roll, or walk for independent living and accessible housing. Every mile makes a difference — one mile, one step, one community. Join us for the OTR Challenge 2025 today!

On June 6, OTR broke ground on Lakeview Landing, a new six-story, 37-unit supportive housing community at 835 W. Addison, just east of Wrigley Field. The project is a partnership between OTR and Lakeview Lutheran Church and marks a rare opportunity to bring permanent accessible housing to Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. It’s being made possible through the collaboration of numerous public and private partners, including IHDA, NEF, City of Chicago, CHA, CSH, BMO, ComEd, and others.

Join Us for a Night to Remember at the Celebration Concert.

Step into an unforgettable evening of elegance, music, and meaning at Celebration, Over the Rainbow’s signature event, now in its 36th year. Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Michigan at Northwestern’s exquisite Galvin Hall, this one-of-a-kind night is not to be missed.

Presented by the OTR Junior Board, this high-energy event featured performances by local bands, a dynamic art show, silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and great food, all for a great cause. Thanks to your support, we made meaningful progress toward our goal of installing automatic door openers for residents, giving them greater freedom and independence.
