History

Jill's House, Inc. is named in honor of Jill Behrman, an Indiana University student and beloved Bloomington resident. She was abducted while riding her bicycle on the morning of May 31, 2000. It was also built in honor of Steven Howard, who lost his battle with cancer at age 19.

In remembering Jill Behrman and Steve Howard - and the anguish associated with the shortness of their lives - Jill's House strives to be a place of comfort and peace for others who are suffering.
