Dear Friend of Living Resources
As we take this opportunity to present the 2009 Annual
Report to our stakeholders, we can never forget that the
Living Resources story is always about people: The people
we serve; the people who work here; and, the people who
support us. The people who rely on our programs every
day must always come first and it is their input that
shapes the programs we develop. I think our readers will
be excited about the new directions we are moving in as
of 2009 and we will begin to share our new focus with
you in this report as we prepare for the next decade.
Be assured that Living Resources is positioned to continue
providing quality of care, as well as recruiting, training,
and retaining needed staff. We will continue to deliver
quality services and seek every opportunity to continually
improve services.
What more can we say about our staff other than to reiterate
how grateful we are for their strong commitment to the

About Living Resources
For the past four decades, Living Resources has proven to be an industry leader and pioneer in providing outstanding services to people with
developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries. Since its founding in 1974, the agency has helped over 5,000 people with developmental
disabilities live life as productive, capable members of the community. Living Resources has earned the respect and trust of families, community
stakeholders, and government officials throughout New York State by implementing cutting-edge services and programs under the direction of highly
trained, educated and qualified professionals.
Innovative Services & Programs
In order to meet life’s challenges, Living Resources has developed a successful continuum of care services and innovative programming that
address the full range of needs experienced by individuals with disabilities. Service highlights in 2009 include:
College Experience Program (CEP)
This ground-breaking two-year certificate program provides young adults
with developmental disabilities the opportunity to pursue a unique curriculum
in a residential college setting. Living Resources, in partnership with the
College of Saint Rose in Albany, provides each student with a well-rounded
experience, both academically and residentially, that prepares students to
live independently with confidence,
work in competitive employment or
continue to pursue higher education.
The College Experience
Program’s resounding success is due
to its true uniqueness. There are few
well established college programs in
the country, and we are the only one
in which a not-for-profit is partnering
with a college of higher education.
Enrollment in the program increased
CEP students at the College of
to 13 students in 2009 and will grow
Saint Rose.
to 16 students in the next term.
Eventually, Living Resources and the College of Saint Rose plan to grow
the program to 24 students with funding coming from both the Medicaid
waiver and private tuition.
Carriage House Arts Center
The Arts Center provides a place for individuals with disabilities to
discover and explore their artistic abilities under the direction of
professional instructors in subjects as varied as painting, photography,
fiber arts and jewelry making.
The program has received national
recognition for its quality of
instruction and the artwork created
by its students, many of which have
gone on to win numerous awards
and see their work prominently
displayed in countless shows and
galleries. There are now 200
students in the arts program and
this has led to a prolific increase
in finished art. Living Resources’
Miller Sanders Gallery stages new
shows on a quarterly basis, and in
2009, 13 outside shows were staged

Acquired Brain Injury Services (ABI)
Established in partnership with NeuroPsychological Rehabilitation
Services, the ABI program helps people who have suffered brain injuries
regain control of their lives. The rehabilitation program’s innovative
model focuses on re-building social skills and fostering independence by
transferring knowledge and skills acquired through cognitive mediation
back into the individual’s home and community.
In 2009 a very popular music club was established providing
opportunities for stress-free socialization. Club members, some of
whom were musicians before their injuries, relish the chance to again
express themselves in ways that bring them joy and self confidence.
Although some of the participants have their own instruments, many of
the instruments and electronic equipment were purchased with funding
provided by our generous donors. The ABI musicians are again finding
their voices
through weekly
jam sessions
and the growing
friendships of
others who
understand the
difficulties
experienced by
those with brain
injuries.
ABI musicians –
ready to jam!
Smart Housing
Designed specifically to serve people with disabilities while allowing
them to maintain an independent lifestyle, the progressive Smart House
model developed by Living Resources may serve as a universal housing
model for individuals with disabilities and the elderly.
“The combination of aging, emerging health issues and the structural
limitations of housing that does not accommodate their needs can no
longer be tolerated by an organization that promises to meet all of its
residents’ life challenges,” stated CEO Fred Erlich. Living Resources
expects as many as
33% or 90 of our
group home residents
to reach the age of 60
over the next decade.
The answer is Smart
House construction; it
will be singled-storied,
barrier-free inside and
out and will incorporate green energy
efficiencies and
medical technologies.
Thanks to community
support and $650,000

2009 – The Year in Review
The People We Served in 2009
To describe the individuals we serve by using the names of their disabilities is to do a great injustice both to the individuals and to our Annual
Report readers. Those of us who know and work with our program participants have learned that we share more similarities than differences in
our approaches to daily life. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it is also their voices that help to tell the whole story. See their faces.
Hear their words. Be prepared to be surprised!
“We are the same as the so called normal people. We laugh, we
cry, we love, we play, we think and we hurt, but here at Living
Resources we can always talk about it and work through it.”

The People Who Make the Programs Work
A perfect picture of the people who make up the Living Resources staff and volunteers also presents many challenges, partly because there are
over 700 of us and because we all come with a variety of skills. There are some qualities, however, that most of us have in common – a fervent
desire to help others, a strong commitment to share talents and life experiences with those we serve, a generous spirit of giving when donating time,
goods and money, and the energy and enthusiasm to tackle any hurdle in the workplace with patience and kindness. Here are some of these special
folks doing what they do best!

The People who Provide Support | Donations received January 1, 2009 – December 31, 2009
The people who support the work of Living Resources do so for many reasons. They support Living Resources because they need services or have a
family member who would benefit from one of our programs. Some of our hardest working supporters are employed by Living Resources. Our greatest
source of support, however, often comes from individuals who want to be a part of an organization that truly makes a difference. These community
donors support our programs through the annual appeal, by attending our events and by making personal donations to celebrate or mark special events
in their lives. Thank you, 2009 donors; only with your help can Living Resources continue to do all that needs doing!
