UCP Receives a Grant, and Shares the Love

12/15/2021

 
Picture
It's rainy and cold here in Oregon, but we're excited because we have some great news for you!

UCP Oregon was awarded a grant from the Oregon Department of Human Services, which we're using to highlight and celebrate the hard work of our Direct Support Professionals.

We created a "Share the Love" story project, where our direct support staff could share stories about their work life--the fun stuff, the hard stuff, and even the funny parts. Every person who submitted a story was awarded a $100 Visa gift card.

We received so many fabulous stories. We'll be sharing several of them here (see the link below) and on Facebook over the next few weeks, so make sure to check back in.
 
PS: Thank you so much to everyone who submitted a story!

*DSP's are employees who provide direct support to customers, such as Personal Assistants, Support Specialists, Support Coordinators, Personal Coordinators, Assistant Team Leaders, Substitute Support Professionals, Children’s Support Professionals, Job Coaches, and Employment Specialists.

Thanks, Volume 2

We’d like to share some more stories from the storm.


One of UCP Oregon’s Supported Living Team Leaders, Codi Parmelee, did fantastic work, driving staff to and from shifts. Thanks, Codi!


A Personal Agent from UCP’s Brokerage, Jeff Gilbert, braved the storm with our technology consultant, Jeff Couttouw, to get our servers up, with assistance from the Brokerage Director, Sarah Noack. Thanks, guys!


And so many other folks worked extra hours and dealt with treacherous driving conditions. We are so grateful for every one of you. Thank you!

Have You Seen it?

You probably already know all about  Supported Living Department, which assists folks to live in their own homes.

What you might not know is that this department has its own name: "UCP Foundations."

And, now, it has its own logo, too! Check it out!

UCP Oregon is staying super busy in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, doing what we do best--supporting the people we serve!

Here's a UCP Foundations customer, Jackie, going out to the mailbox and enjoying some socially-distanced sunshine in her cool shades.
