Progress since Olmstead?
Here is a report on how states are doing implementing the US Supreme Court's Olmstead decision, saying that people have a right to services in their community and should not have to move into institutions to have them. "So why have some States made significant progress complying with the ADA's integration mandate and others made none?  Generally it is due to a lack of leadership, a a lack of r...
I like to help people
Here's a link to the profile of a Streator Kiwanian.
Penny-wise Pound foolish 2
States are cutting lower cost, higher quality services for many in favor of higher cost, lower quality services for few.
Path towards the new group home
We took one more step towards the building of the new group home last night, going before the Planning Commission for our zoning hearing.  Happily the Planning Commission is making a positive recommendation to the City Council, who will meet this coming Wednesday.
Strange and good news
In collaboration with the IFF (formerly the Illinois Facilities Fund) and thirteen other agencies in the state, Streator Unlimited has been awarded federal stimulus funds through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.  We plan to build an 8-bed, fully accessible group home in order to downsize Knox Estates to 8 beds as well.  This will allow all residents to have their own room, which would be ...
Surveys and contracts
DHS SURVEY 6-2010 These are the survey results from the state's 2010 annual survey of our Developmental Training Program.  We are proud of these results as they recognize our consistent efforts to provide the best quality services possible, despite last year's funding cuts and the late payments from the state. On a more somber note, our contracts for the fiscal year beginning July 1 arrived...
Home at last!
We're moving back in to  Knox today!  What a great relief it will be for everyone.  One resident who was staying with mom and not at the main SU building, was staying in his bedroom more and not wanting to eat because he just wanted to go home.  He will be highly pleased to be back, as will everyone.  There will still be more work to do, but it's  a great achievement that we've made it this ...
Very Close Now
We're close to being able to move back into Knox.  We've got to finish up the trim on one of the new windows, then get IL Dept of Public Health to come in to inspect and clear.
Monday update
They're installing the new door today at Knox.  We're still waiting for the windows to arrive.  If they come in soon there's a decent chance we could move back in this week.  The residents at the main building are continuing to do OK, though it gets old being in the same building most of the time and not being in their own home and their own beds. Things at Fitzsimmons are fine since the res...
Tuesday
Here's a story that ran in the Times on Saturday.  Things continue to go OK for our displaced residents.   We have not yet gotten the phone back on at Fitzsimmons, so are waiting on that.  Thank you all for your on going support, and a special thanks to the Ramp Builders who replaced the wheelchair ramp we lost in the tornado.
