To the editor:

Down Syndrome Supported Living, Inc. (DSSL) would like to express its gratitude to the city of Cape Coral for a Community Development Block Grant. The CDBG allowed for the replacing two outdated air conditioning units and a new roof. The timing of the roof could not have been more perfect as Hurricane Ian did significant damage. The CDBG Grant is also providing funds to purchase new stoves and refrigerators for each side of the duplex. A special thanks to the dedicated staff in the Department of Development Services for providing the services and programs that enhance community value.

The ongoing success of DSSL relies on donations from private citizens, public grants and charitable organizations like the Cape Royal Community Foundation, Knights of Columbus, Kiwanis and the Cape Coral Community Foundation.

Tax deductible donations can be made payable to:
