About

DELTA CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WHICH EXISTS TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO LIVE AS INDEPENDENTLY AS POSSIBLE IN THE COMMUNITY. OUR COVERAGE AREA INCLUDES ST. CHARLES, LINCOLN AND WARREN COUNTIES. WE ARE ONE OF TWENTY-TWO CENTERS IN MISSOURI. CENTERS FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING AROSE FROM THE DISABILITY RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF THE EARLY 1970S. COMMUNITIES WERE NOT ACCESSIBLE AND SUPPORTS TO ASSIST PEOPLE WITH REMAINING IN THEIR HOMES DID NOT EXIST. THE DISABILITY RIGHTS MOVEMENT LED TO THE REHABILITATION ACT OF 1975 AND EVENTUALLY THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.ADVOCACY AND CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO COMMUNITY SUPPORTS REMAINS AT THE CORE OF WHAT WE DO. WE PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL ADVOCACY TO ASSIST FOLKS WITH SPECIFIC ISSUES AS WELL AS COMMUNITY ADVOCACY FOCUSED ON BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS TO INDEPENDENT LIVING. THIS PAST YEAR, DELTA CENTER HAS REMAINED THE COORDINATING AGENCY OF THE ST. CHARLES COUNTY HOUSING TEAM. AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE HOUSING IN ST. CHARLES COUNTY REMAINS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BARRIERS TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. THE HOUSING TEAM HELD THE 3RD ANNUAL HOUSING CONFERENCE AND CONTINUES TO ADD MEMBERS AND PARTNER AGENCIES. WE ALSO ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION TO ASSURE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING UNITS ARE MEETING FAIR HOUSING STANDARDS.CONNECTING PEOPLE TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES THROUGH OUR INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SERVICES ASSISTED 255 PEOPLE DURING THE LAST REPORTING YEAR. REFERRALS RANGE FROM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO TRANSPORTATION TO IN-HOME SUPPORTS AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES. THERE IS NO END TO THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WILL NEED IN THE WAY OF COMMUNITY SUPPORTS TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT.SKILLS TRAINING, WHICH CAN ENCOMPASS SELF-ADVOCACY, COOKING, BUDGETING, ETC. ASSISTED 118 PEOPLE OVER THE LAST YEAR.PEER SUPPORT SERVICES CONNECT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WITH EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO CREATE NATURAL SUPPORT NETWORKS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMMON, SHARED EXPERIENCES. THIS WAS PROVIDED TO 25 INDIVIDUALS LAST YEAR.DELTA CENTER ALSO PARTNERS WITH MISSOURI ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY WITH THEIR TAP PROGRAM. THIS PROVIDES A FREE ADAPTED TELEPHONE TO ANYONE IN MISSOURI WITH A VISUAL OR HEARING IMPAIRMENT WHO MAKES LESS THAN $60,000 A YEAR.DELTA CENTER PARTNERED WITH THE VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION TO BEGIN PROVIDING VETERAN-DIRECTED IN-HOME SERVICES IN ST. CHARLES, LINCOLN AND WARREN COUNTIES.BASED ON DATA FROM REQUESTS FROM THE INFORMATION AND REFERRAL PROGRAM, DELTA CENTER IDENTIFIED TWO AREAS THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS HAVING DIFFICULTY MEETING NEEDS IN: 1. ACCESS TO DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT (WALKERS, SHOWER CHAIRS, ETC.) FOR FOLKS WHOSE INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER THESE ITEMS AND OTHERWISE CAN'T AFFORD THEM; AND 2. PLANNING SERVICES FOR PEOPLE TO AGE IN PLACE I.E. REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES AS THEY AGE AND AVOID NURSING HOMES. DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR, DELTA CENTER BEGAN AN EQUIPMENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM AND PROVIDED EQUIPMENT TO 136 INDIVIDUALS. WE SOLICIT DONATIONS OF USED ITEMS, SANITIZE THEM AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO FOLKS IN NEED. THE VALUE OF DONATED ITEMS IF PURCHASED NEW WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER $63,000.AN AGING IN PLACE SAFELY ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED. THIS WILL EVALUATE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS INCLUDING FALL RISKS, SUPPORT NETWORK, FINANCIAL AND MENTAL STATUS AND WILL RESULT IN A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAN BE USED BY INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO HELP PLAN FOR AGING IN PLACE. THREE ASSESSMENTS WERE COMPLETED THIS FISCAL YEAR.DELTA CENTER ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE ST. CHARLES COMMUNITY COUNCIL. WE PROVIDED THEM SPACE TO IMPLEMENT A NEW PROGRAM, COORDINATED ENTRY, WHICH ADDRESSES HOMELESSNESS BY CREATING A ONE-CALL SYSTEM TO CONNECT PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS OR AT RISK TO RESOURCES INSTEAD OF HAVING TO MAKE MULTIPLE CALLS TO DIFFERENT AGENCIES. THIS HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AND DELTA CENTER IS PROUD TO BE A SUPPORTING PARTNER.
