Illinois Department of Human Services to Lay Off Hundreds at Choate Mental Health Facility Amid Operational Changes

The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) has announced plans to lay off approximately 250 employees at the Choate Mental Health and Developmental Center in Anna, Illinois. This decision is part of a broader restructuring effort that includes the elimination of the facility's general residential program for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The changes are a continuation of a three-year plan initiated in partnership with the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, aimed at repurposing the facility. The plan involves ceasing operations for certain units by September 30 and phasing down 75 civil mental health beds by March 2027, with an increase in beds at the Madden Mental Health Center in Chicago. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which represents the majority of Choate's staff, has expressed concern over the layoffs, which contradict previous assurances that restructuring would not result in job losses.
