The Mercury News is reporting that Mary Avenue Villas has been approved—bringing more than 40 affordable homes to Cupertino, including 19 for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

This project will provide permanent, supportive housing so individuals with IDD can live independently, with dignity, and remain connected to the community they call home. We’re proud to support this important step forward alongside the City of Cupertino and our partners.

Cupertino moves forward affordable housing project for disabled adults over community concerns about parking.

Thank you to the AbilityPath Auxiliary for a wonderful year and welcome to the incoming leadership!

Yesterday, at the AbilityPath Auxiliary's annual luncheon, I felt a deep sense of gratitude. It was an honor to thank the outgoing Auxiliary president, Sara Jungroth, for leading with "purpose and heart". Her impact this past year was remarkable, and I was thrilled to welcome Mary Lee Delehanty as the incoming president to carry this legacy forward.

For over seven decades, the AbilityPath Auxiliary has been a cornerstone of AbilityPath's mission, raising more than $3 million since its founding, and contributing 6,000+ volunteer hours annually. From the joy of the Annual Holiday Ball to the Summer Picnic, they ensure we can always say "yes" to the folks who need us most.

California is committed to creating more accessible and affordable housing options for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. We kicked off the year with the groundbreaking of River Grove Apartments.

Once completed, the West Sacramento development will include 37 units, including 18 reserved for people served by Alta California Regional Center.

Projects like these are made possible through ongoing collaboration between regional centers, housing developers, and federal, county and local agencies.

What a beautiful afternoon celebrating creativity and community! 🎨✨

Huge thanks to Georgia Farooq and the entire Thrive Alliance team for creating such a joyful gathering at today's New Year Mix & Mingle: Art is Life event. 🌟

Loved every moment — from the incredible jazz performance by Aragon High School's "The Birds" 🎵 to stunning visual art, poetry, and folklorico dance. 💃🎭

And what inspiring speakers! 🙌 Thank you to San Mateo County Supervisor Lisa Gauthier, Rosanne Foust (SAMCEDA President & CEO), and Aimee Shapiro (San Mateo County Office of Arts and Culture) for reminding us why arts are essential to healing, community, and human potential.

When artists, leaders, and advocates gather with shared purpose — magic happens. ✨ Here's to carrying this creative momentum forward together! 🚀

AbilityPath and our REACH program are honored to be working alongside the Stroke Awareness Foundation Board of Directors as we deepen our shared commitment to stroke awareness and recovery! 💛🧠

For 23 years, this Foundation has been making a real difference. Thanks to their outreach efforts, stroke death rates in our community are 20% lower than California's average and 25% lower than the national average. That's lives saved. 🙏

Now we're expanding that impact even further by bringing AbilityPath's REACH program into the picture, connecting survivors and caregivers with recovery services across the Peninsula and beyond. 🤝

We need your help to keep this momentum going! 💪

Join us for the 15th Annual Fight Stroke Walk on Sunday, May 3rd** ☀️🚶‍♀️ This event funds the multilingual education, digital campaigns, and recovery resources that make all the difference.

How you can be part of this:
✅ Sign up to walk with us
✅ Support SAF's fundraising
✅ Show up on May 3rd to stand in solidarity with stroke survivors and caregivers

Together, we can bridge the gap between hospital discharge and recovery. 💙
