At their meeting on December 1, 2014, the HRC voted to recommend approval of a funding request from ATTAIN, INC for $63,147 of SHIP Program FY 2013-2014 funds to develop two additional bedrooms and one bath to the group home at 5172 Neponset Ave., Orlando, Florida. This addition will allow each of the six female residents with developmental disabilities currently residing in the home to have their own bedroom. The home renovation will include upgrades to the existing fire and safety systems. |
