seeing the results of advocacy and becoming aware of the many advocacy opportunities available.
Create more housing for the under-62 years-old popoluation that is underserved. The waiting list is 2 years long and we receive calls on a regular basis from people and families that are looking for quality housing for young disabled. It is frustrating to not be able to offer them housing here but it more so because I have nowhere to refer them to.

The relationships with family members and residents that are maintained even after a resident has passed or moved on. Also in the smiles and hugs received daily. Seeing a resident get the job they have always wanted or having the ability to volunteer with children or exercise facilities that are created for persons with disabilities. Without the knowledge of the staff or the networking capabilities, some of these dreams would never be accomplished.
I would provide more access for the residents to advocate for what they want and need in the community. I would also provide more training for family members and caregivers as well as staff.

Observing residents and staff of vastly different cultural and socioecomic backgrounds, faith communities, and perhaps value systems come to celebrate rather than merely tolerate their differences; learning about informal caring networks that existed among residents and between volunteers and residents; working as a team with extraordinarily gifted and committed staff members; becoming part of an extended family that included residents, residents' family members, board members other volunteers, and staff.
Continue to recognize the faith component of its founders that, with seed money from the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama and grant money from HUD, created the physical structures of EPI and II; keep the focus on community-building among the residents and between volunteers, staff and residents; and forge ahead with the excellent development work the current administration is doing to sustain and expand present programming and raise the visibility of this extraordinary community in the wider community.
a number of ways. I have seen residents age in place and enjoy the last phrase of their lives. I am proud that God has allowed me to assist in the process and I hope I can help train a younger person appreciate the joy of helping the elderly and people with disabilities.
try to provide transportation to doctors appointments and to work.
watching residents live their everyday lives. Each day, I see their needs and see how Episocpal Place staff help them access resources that will help them meet those needs.
make it bigger and able to serve even more people. This is a wonderful model for providing affordable housing and supportive services for seniors and disabled adults. We have a very long waiting list and need to be in a position where we can serve more people who need help.
