MY NEW HOME

On Wednesday, April 4^th I moved into a really nice townhouse off of Georgia and Arcola Avenues that is owned by Housing Unlimited, Inc. (HUI) and is considered supported living.  I am still a part of St. Luke’s House and continue to work with a Residential Counselor (RC) from the Bethington cluster.  Most recently I had been living in general housing with the Peppertree cluster at a place near Bel Pre and Layhill Roads.  At my new place there is a telephone in my room. I also hold on to my own medication and don’t have staff coming for med monitoring every day.  Also, now that I am my own rep payee it is my responsibility to write my own rent checks monthly.  The transportation is very close to my house and I only have to take two buses to get to and from work and Southport.  However, I only have to take one bus to get from work to Southport.  In conclusion, the increased independence has been a really good thing for me and every move has been easier.
