TREASURE HOUSE

IN 2023, TREASURE HOUSE CELEBRATED FIVE YEARS OF OPERATION. WE RAN AT FULL CAPACITY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE YEAR WITH AN ACCUMULATED WAIT LIST WHICH IMMEDIATELY FILLED APARTMENTS WHEN A FEW RESIDENTS TRANSITIONED OUT OF TREASURE HOUSE TO COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE. 75% OF OUR RESIDENTS WERE EMPLOYED WITH TWO RESIDENTS HOLDING TWO PART-TIME JOBS. TWO RESIDENTS CONTINUED TO PURSUE JUNIOR COLLEGE. OUR PROGRAM CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN SOPHISTICATION AS OUR RESIDENTS ARE GROWING IN MATURITY AND INDEPENDENCE. OUR LIFE COACH STAFF FOCUSES INTENSELY ON EACH RESIDENT TO ASSIST WITH IMPROVED LIFE SKILLS, BUDGET MANAGEMENT, GROCERY SHOPPING, MAKING MEDICAL/DENTAL APPOINTMENTS, MANAGING HEALTHY FRIENDSHIPS, COMMUNITY INTEGRATION OUTINGS AND BEYOND. TREASURE HOUSE PROVIDES TRANSPORTATION FOR ALL RESIDENT ACTIVITIES UTILIZING FIVE TREASURE HOUSE OWNED VEHICLES WITH AN AVERAGE OF 30-35 TRIPS PER DAY, SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK. OUR COMMUNITY ASSISTANTS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE 24-HOUR IN-HOUSE COVERAGE TO SUPPORT THE DAILY ACTIVITIES AND GOALS FOR OUR RESIDENTS SUCH AS MEALS, LAUNDRY, RELATIONSHIP BUILDING WITH PEERS, TRANSPORTATION AND MUCH MORE. CALENDAR YEAR 2023 WAS OUR SECOND FULL YEAR OF RAISING FUNDS FOR OUR GROWING HOME CAPITAL CAMPAIGN IN ADDITION TO FUNDRAISING TO OPERATIONAL SUPPORT. THE GOAL FOR OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN IS TO RAISE 10,000,000 OVER A 3-YEAR PERIOD ENDING IN 2025. THE NEED FOR THE SERVICES THAT TREASURE HOUSE PROVIDES ACROSS THE COUNTRY CONTINUES TO GROW AS REPLICATION IN OTHER COMMUNITIES IS PART OF OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE. TREASURE HOUSE HAS BECOME A NATIONAL RESOURCE FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE SEARCHING FOR A SAFE, EMPOWERING PROGRAM FOR ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.
