the 2015 AID Annual Report
Transcription
the 2015 AID Annual Report
We reflect on this past year with pride as we were again able to serve more than 5,000 children and adults with disabilities and those in crisis throughout the Fox Valley. This was achieved despite the $1 million in state funding cuts and another $1 million in state grant funds unpaid due to the lack of a state budget. We had to make many tough decisions this past year in order to continue services and remain financially stable. Now more than ever we are extremely grateful for our many generous donors, volunteers and dedicated staff. Despite the many challenges faced in 2015, several new projects moved forward. Water’s Edge Apartments in South Elgin offers affordable housing to many AID clients. Behavioral Health Outpatient services expanded by taking on both staff and clients from another local agency that closed its children’s mental health program. Supportive housing opportunities expanded for individuals with developmental disabilities and behavioral health challenges; though more than 1,000 individuals remain on the waiting list locally. We hope that a three-year Dunham Fund Challenge Grant will incentivize families, staff, friends and supporters to increase giving to AID this year. Thank you to all who gave so generously this past year! We hope we can count on you to help us reach our 2016 campaign goal. Additionally, we ask that you continue to advocate for the needs of those we serve and those who are not served. This advocacy should be at all levels of government, local, county and state. We need to make our voices heard and remind our elected officials that we are all voters. Your continued support and confidence in AID is deeply appreciated. On behalf of the AID Board and staff, thank you for empowering people with physical, developmental, intellectual and mental health challenges to enjoy lives of dignity and purpose.
