The Home Possible Project: Thank You to Our Supporters
We wish to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Gilford Town Selectmen, other Town officials and the many residents of our community who stood behind The Home Possible Project. Although the recent vote did not yield the outcome we had hoped for, the overwhelming support by members of our community has not gone unnoticed, and we are extremely grateful.
The origin of the Home Possible Project stemmed from a vital need and a profound commitment to creating supportive housing for adults with developmental disabilities. Despite the setback of the recent vote, our belief in the importance of this endeavor remains steadfast and we are certain we will find a location to call home that is deserving of these amazing individuals.
This experience has only served to fortify our determination to ensure that adults with developmental disabilities have access to the supportive housing they need. We are unwavering in our pursuit of finding a permanent, lifelong home for this remarkable group of individuals. We will forge ahead until our mission is accomplished.
Once again, we extend our sincerest gratitude to all who lent their support. We urge the community to continue championing inclusive and compassionate initiatives such as this one. In our quest for a home, we appeal to anyone willing to offer a suitable parcel of land or support our mission in any capacity to please reach out to us.
Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to express our gratitude and to articulate our vision for a more inclusive community, where everyone is valued and supported.
