Our Community Living residences are very special homes; as they have become more than just a symbol of our clients’ inclusion in the community, they also represent a commitment to their right to a comfortable, safe and nurturing home. For many of our clients, they are the first and only homes they have known since leaving an institutionalized environment a couple decades ago. GVCSS has always gone above and beyond to maintain this commitment by creating warm family-style group homes which incorporate the clients’ personalities, from painting bedroom wall murals to hanging personalized photographs. We are very proud of our six residences and we are grateful for the funding we receive to keep them in operation.
However, as all homeowners know, home improvements and repairs can be ongoing and costly necessities. Unfortunately, the cost for repair and maintenance demands continually exceeds our program funding and we must turn to our donors for assistance. This year, we have several important home improvement priorities: fencing to provide security for our group home residents; replacing broken kitchen cupboards; upgrading bathrooms for wheelchair accessibility and safety; and installing new flooring to replace old and damaged tiling. GVCSS welcomes all donations to help keep our homes in excellent condition, including donations in-kind.
