I’m proud to share the Encompass Community Supports (ECS) FY25 Impact Report, highlighting the meaningful work we continue to do across our communities. Thanks to our dedicated team, partners, and supporters, we have reached more individuals and expanded our services. Each story at ECS reflects resilience, hope, and connection. In FY25, we saw lives change, clients renewed through counseling, families achieving housing stability, and older adults gaining independence through transportation. These moments, big and small, are at the heart of our work.
Even amid uncertainty, hope, joy, and connection persist. We continue making a difference, one life at a time.

FROMCONCERNTOACTION: ECSSAFEGUARDSCLIENTS
“During a conversation with a client’s family member, something just didn’t feel right. I reached out to the assisted living facility (ALF), who shared that the family member wanted to remove the client after six years. I gently encouraged them to contact Adult Protective Services (APS).
APS investigated and discovered that the client was being financially exploited. By trusting my instincts and speaking up, I was able to protect not just the client’s finances, but their peace of mind The gratitude and relief from both the client and the ALF made it all worthwhile.” -ECS Staff Member
