We have made ongoing efforts to assist in improvements for New Hope Community, to better serve the people we support, as well as protect the assets used daily. We have developed a comprehensive plan that, given the scope, will understandably take several years to complete. However, our approach is carefully prioritized and adaptable to the many changing factors we encounter. Our primary goal is to provide the best support for our Team, ensuring New Hope is the best it can be. The following are projects that have been initiated or completed since my last update: ICF Homes – We contracted with CR Wolfe, a local HVAC company, to complete a full replacement of the heating and air conditioning components in all our ICF homes. These newly installed systems feature the latest technologies in efficiency and operational functionality, significantly improving our ability to maintain comfortable temperatures and better meet the needs within the programs. Facilities Update
5884/Lawrence – Building on the progress we have been making on the bathroom upgrades in our ICF homes, we have begun these improvements in our IRA homes working with various vendors. We have remodeled the downstairs bathroom at 5884 and renovated one of the bathrooms in our Lawrence IRA. ICF Bathrooms – The bathroom renovation project in the ICF homes continues to move forward. We recently completed work on the bathroom at 308 Stupell Circle, leaving six bathrooms remaining for the total project completion. We find that these new bathrooms are enhancing the overall appearance of the homes, and alleviating numerous issues the old bathrooms were causing. Most importantly, they greatly improve the accessibility, health, and safety for the people we support.
