One of our consumers, Carlos’ mother recently called us to thank us for the transformation in her son’s life. Prior to enrolling in the SCIL Transition Center, Carlos spent his days watching television and playing video games. His life found greater meaning when he enrolled in the SCIL Transition Center. The information he learned in our classes changed his life. Carlos began to set life goals and found the motivation to pursue the challenge of homeownership. He recently enrolled in a home buyer assistance program. Upon successful completion of the program, he would receive down-payment assistance. He passed the course, owing his success in the class to all the things he learned in the SCIL Transition Center and now has the confidence to take the first step toward owning a home: moving into his first apartment and learning how to live independently before he buys a home of his own.
