Hey, My mom and I are looking to get a group home license in Berwyn, Il. We live in a two flat unit and the daycare is located at the basement. Unfortunately, the basement is not attached to the first floor. Berwyn considers the basement as a part of the first unit no matter that is unnattached. My mom lives in the first unit and I live in the second unit. Both my dad and I are the owners of the bulding. Actually, only our family lives in the bulding. However, we were told by DCFS that no matter that only the family lives in the bulding and no matter that the city considers it as part of the first unit, if the basement is not attached to the first floor, we will never qualify for a home license if the daycare is located in the basement. My mom is already approved as a license exempt. Do somebody knows a way to get a kind of special permit or waiver considering our situation?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
