Less than one year ago, David Sturgis resided at the Jacksonville Developmental Center (JDC) in downstate Illinois. Today, thanks to Governor Quinn's rebalancing initiative, David is working at the Chicago Auto Show, a carwash and enjoying life in his new home. David is one of 19-people living with support from Seguin Services in Cicero that transferred from JDC in 2012. He is just one of many success stories being lived due to the state of Illinois making a commitment to close state institutions and invest in providing people with developmental and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to live in a community of choice.
