We're looking to expand our services.

Right now, exercise programs are limited because we don't have room. We will be able to enhance our wellness program and provide more services for family and youth.

The commission each year needs to accept it. It's a one-year agreement that's renewed three times. This is the second year.

It's a competitive process where anybody can apply for funding.

If we can help people start thinking about what resources they have and understanding that they're available in Broward for their family members, and if they're aware of the services, they may be able to live independently a lot longer, if we just provide the support.

I just feel that the only power I have is setting a good example.
