Title: Friendship Ark Opens Eighth Home

We are excited to announce that we have successfully opened our eight home, providing an opportunity to take the next step on their journey to greater independence for five more core members. Just like our Fletcher Home, the Sargent Family Home will operate as an intermediate home, providing reduced hours of staff support supplemented by an electronic monitoring system for safety, to allow the core members to transition to more independent living. The home is named after the Sargent Family, who has made a significant financial commitment to support Friendship Ark. We could not continue to grow and provide the quality services we are known for to additional core members without the support of generous donors such as the Sargent Family. We are grateful for their compassion and belief in our mission. We cannot see what the future holds for Stephen, Tom, Paul, Joel and Josh.
