From the President:
July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024
Fiscal Year 2024 brought us incredible highs and remarkable challenges. We learned firsthand that change is hard, but also necessary as we said bittersweet goodbyes in order to usher in the new.
In February of 2024, we transitioned our Residential program to two other agencies. While we were incredibly sad to say goodbye to residents and families we had known for years, the time had come to work with other providers whose sole mission is residential services, to allow our residents a new opportunity.
While making the decision to say goodbye to one program, we were working behind the scenes to introduce a new one. The Young Adult Program, announced in late 2023, fills a need we had noticed in our community for several years. The first site in St. Charles is thriving. In fact, there has been so much excitement for the program, that the latter half of the fiscal year has been spent preparing for a second location!
Social Opportunities and Recreation (SOAR) ran a pilot program called “SOAR Junior” to test whether we could begin accepting younger participants. We are pleased to say we are meeting another emerging need in our community by officially lowering the minimum age for the program. We now serve children ages eight to high school graduation.
Employment Services has 70+ people working in the community. Respite Services has seen record growth at the Respite Care Home and In-Home Respite, while the Respite Center no longer has a waitlist for the first time in the last several years. The Respite Center is also currently running a pilot program of its own. The program has dedicated one weekend each month to host adults with more intense staffing needs.
The staff and Board of Directors for Community Living are currently working on our new Strategic Plan, to be rolled out in January 2025. While we’re still discovering how our organization will change for the better for years to come, we stand firm in our commitment to providing inclusion and innovation for individuals with disabilities in our community.
“Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? But because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” -Wicked
“It has lifted a tremendous burden from our family. I am so very grateful for the program.” -SOAR Family
“Before joining Adult Rec, I would only go places with my parents. Now, I get to hang out and existence new things with friends I have made while participating with Adult Rec.” -Adult Rec Member
“It has helped decrease our stress in our family home. I am very grateful to this program.” -Respite Family
“This resource has been amazing. It has helped to strengthen my husband and I and that makes us better parents to our son.” -Respite Family
“Teen Club has given our son a safe, reliable care so we can continue with our work schedules.” -SOAR Family
“It is my daughter’s favorite place to go, which makes us happy to see her happy.” -Respite Family
“Our daughter has more than doubled her independence and happiness. She loves being there. The staff also teaches kindness to all of the members, and it shows.” -SSA Family
“Every day I drop my daughter off, I know she’s safe and well cared for by trained professionals. When I pick her up and can see smiles and hear her being vocal – it just makes my day.” -SSA Family
“I try new things. I feel more independent because my mom and dad don’t need to stay. I love seeing my friends. I love the food.” -Adult Rec Member
