EBI Newsletter – Spring 2022


A newsletter page titled "EAST BAY INNOVATIONS The InSight" from Spring 2022. The main article is titled "MOVING FORWARD" and reflects on positive operational outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic as the fiscal year closes on June 30th. The text details how the administrative team secured PPE, implemented remote tracking systems, and managed health updates for over 500 consumers and 175 staff. The text breaks down adaptations across specific service lines: * **Community Day Supports:** Provided a mix of remote and in-person programming, delivering instruments and activity kits to homes for Zoom classes before slowly transitioning to outdoor activities like taking the ferry, cycling, and walking. * **Employment Services:** Shifted focus to preparing job seekers for virtual interviews on Zoom, utilizing remote access and screen sharing for training. * **Independent Living:** Assisted consumers with adjusting to virtual services, remote public benefits renewal, and rent negotiations. * **Supported Living:** Maintained continuous in-person care due to intensive consumer needs, with some staff volunteering to "lock-down" with consumers. The page features five supporting photographs: * **Left photo:** A group of consumers and staff posing outdoors on a ferry deck with the San Francisco city skyline in the distant background. * **Top right photo:** A close-up of a consumer in a wheelchair and a staff member smiling next to a large orange tiger display. * **Middle right photo:** A group of individuals on adaptive cycles traveling down a paved outdoor trail. * **Lower right photo:** A man in a blue long-sleeved shirt sitting indoors beneath a vibrant rainbow-colored arc decoration. * **Bottom right photo:** An older man in a plaid shirt looking out a large window overlooking a street while holding a digital tablet.
