This is an article from Community Reach Newsletter about Mr. J.
In January, another resident who had lived at Jefferson House for a number of years was able to move into his own apartment. “Mr. J” was thrilled to have a home of his own again. As someone who loves to tinker and rebuild furniture and bikes that have seen better days, he looks forward to having extra available space to do just that. Not sharing a refrigerator, pantry space, or a bathroom with roommates is a wonderful feeling, as is never having to compromise about what TV program to watch or what activity to do in the living room. Although “Mr. J” will miss the roommates with whom he became close, he looks forward to inviting them to visit in his new home.
“Mr. J” was also very grateful for the welcome basket of items and supplies he received to help him settle in his new home. The basket was a donation from the Montgomery County, MD section of NCNW. The basket did indeed help him feel more welcome and at home in his new space, he reported.
