HOYLETON, Ill. — Dirt was turned Thursday in Hoyleton, when Governor J.B. Pritzker joined Hoyleton Youth and Family Services for the groundbreaking on a new foster care home.

According to a press release, the new facility will help youth who are both developmentally and intellectually delayed or have experienced trauma.

It’ll include six cottages, equipped with sensory space and lighting, private bedrooms, and semi-private baths.

The facility will utilize solar power throughout the $16 million campus that is funded by not only state and federal grants, but also donations.
