versifying our revenue base. We are exploring many
options to ensure the resiliency and sustainability of
our affordable housing programs well into the future.
One current business model we are developing is a
private seniors’ assistance and care service. We are
in the very early stages of exploration and planning
the new venture and our excitement continues to build
as we realize the potential for this business to create
many advantages for us and the clients we serve. As
a for-profit venture, it has the potential to raise rev-
enues and add value to our client base. “We are also
in the discussion stages of building a new personal
care home. Taking such a step fits with our philoso-
phy and practice of supporting tenants to remain in
their existing communities (aging in place). We will
continue to expand our intergenerational programs,
as well. Currently we have a number of programs oper-
ating within our building that bring youth and seniors
together, breaking the barriers of ageism, and impart-
ing knowledge and the gained wisdom that come with
time, along with the new skills and opportunities that
come with new technologies.”
For the present, though, Devlin strikes a consistent
note about her institution’s ongoing mission: “We
serve people; we serve a life well-lived for our tenants
and we serve hope,” she states. “And much of our
heart and soul goes into turning that purpose into ac-
tion and to creating a true home and community for
our seniors; one that is affordable, diverse, collabora-
tive, innovative and compassionate.”
