  New Thrift Store Staffed by Service Recipient
  SRVS recently opened the Second Chances Thrift Store.  Like the name itself, the store is giving a second chance for sustainable employment to a SRVS individual by the name of Angelik.  Since coming to SRVS, Angelik always worked in a janitorial work crew.  With the help of her SRVS Employment Consultant, Louis Moses, III, she has been able to transition from a work crew situation to her first independent job in customer service.  Louis trained Angelik on how to organize the closet and greet and meet customers.  He established a color coded system to help Angelik differentiate between types and sizes of clothes. “This job has enabled Angelik to grow to be more independent. It has created in her a sense of self-confidence and drive that I’ve never seen before,” said Louis. Angelik enjoys the quiet pace of the job and the flexibility of her work. “I really like this job. I enjoy being by myself and meeting people. And I’ve learned lots of things about customers, keeping organized and structure,” said Angelik. The Second Chances Thrift Store is available to service recipients and DSPs. If you would like to make a donation to the Second Chances Thrift Store, please contact the PR Office at 901-312-6801.

  SRVS Homes Receive High Marks by REAC
 

SRVS continues to receive high marks in improved occupancy and capital improvements for residential homes that support people with developmental disabilities. A recent audit by HUD gave SRVS an outstanding REAC (Real Estate Assessment Center) rating of 100 for the work and dedication by staff to improving the lives of the residents of four group homes.  The Center monitors the conditions of HUD homes to ensure safe, decent and affordable housing.
