7/21/14 - An open house this week will showcase a local organizationâs latest venture designed to further its mission of optimizing human potential. Works Skills Corporation will celebrate the grand opening of its new residential services home, located on North Michigan Avenue in Howell. The organization helps people with barriers to employment find jobs in the community and also provides training services. The residential services program provides a new approach to residential rehabilitation for adults with brain injuries by offering individualized programming and therapies to result in the highest level of independence possible. Residential Services Administrator Amy Sheibar says the community at large will benefit and it's a new and exciting process since they've been talking about starting this type of program for years. Renovations on the house began last summer. The new home now includes six bedrooms each with a private bathroom, and other upgrades were done throughout. Both the public and interested parties are invited to the open house, which is scheduled from 3 to 7pm Wednesday. A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned at 5pm. (JM)
