CCIL, in partnership with the City of Chicago and ARAMARK, created a Landscape Services program more than 16 years ago.  Through this on-the-job training program participants are placed in a paid work environment and are trained to do landscaping and grounds maintenance.  For two consecutive seasons of eight months each, trainees are provided with technical skills and experience in grounds care, equipment use and safety standards.

CCIL Landscape Clients:

• Chicago Department of Transportation
• Chicago Department of General Services
• Chicago Park District
• Chicago Housing Authority
• Chicago Gateway Green
• Interstate Realty
• Mayslake Village 

CCIL landscaping services have become an integral part of the beautification of the city, providing maintenance services to a large portion of the downtown-area medians, sidewalk planters, malls and plazas, and numerous green spaces throughout Chicago.  This program enables more than 1,000 formerly homeless men and women to gain skills and employment in landscaping and related industries.
