Non-Profit Organization Serving adults with Chronic mental illness
Unlimited Abilities is a non-profit organization in Iowa City that provides Home and Community-Based Services - HCBS and Habilitation - HAB Housing to clients in Johnson and Linn County.
We currently have 8 HAB homes in these counties and serve adults with chronic mental illness.
In addition, we provide outreach services to clients who have their own housing. Our services are designed to help participants work on daily living skills, mental and physical health goals, socialization, and other adaptive skills necessary to live independently in the community.
Shirley Tramble founded Unlimited Abilities in 2017. Growing up, Shirley witnessed the hardship that comes with having a chronic mental illness. She watched as her close relative became isolated, confused, and sad.
As a result, Shirley became passionate about encouraging community integration, independence, and a sense of belonging for individuals with a chronic mental illness.
