Marrakech's Home Ownership Program: A Perfect Way to Thank a Wonderful Direct Support Professional!

Joseph Morton has been working at Marrakech for the past 6 years as a Program Counselor.  Lucky for him, Shirlene Amoah, who celebrates her 10th anniversary here, had a great idea a few years back that was shared with the Board of Directors: Why not offer a home ownership program to help staff with the down payment on the purchase of a new house?  The Marrakech Board of Directors implemented this idea and now Joseph received the benefit, which assisted him with the purchase of his new home.

The people that Joseph supports state that he is a "good man".  His supervisor describes him as "super professional and always willing to do extra; the individuals love and respect him".  Thanks, Joseph, for all you do and congratulations on your new home!

And, thanks to Shirlene for the great idea and for her many years of direct support services she provided as well as her current work in our Business Office.
