From the President Each of us have milestone moments in our lives. I had a couple of milestones this year—I turned 60 and I began a doctoral program! We use the year “milestone,” because it marks something significant. That word certainly can describe some events at Mosaic in 2024. I know you’ll enjoy reading the three success stories about people we support at Mosaic. People we serve often mark milestones—new accomplishments, new experiences and new skills—all that help them live the life they want to lead. The stories about Kyle, Mark and Steven share how they’re achieving their milestones and pursuing their dreams with a little help fromMosaic. There’s also a story about significant milestones in the life of our organization. Mosaic expanded the impact of our mission by acquiring two other provider organizations in 2024. In Arizona, our subsidiary Soreo grew to serve more than 500 additional people with in-home supports. In Maine, our subsidiary Living Innovations grew to serve more than 260 more people with shared living and other community supports. That story also shares the “Why?” behind those moves. The dramatic growth of our Mosaic at Home Shared Living service is the topic of another story. This, too, is a milestone for our organization and for people supported. In that story, you’ll see the positive outcomes people experience in shared living. There’s much more you’ll find useful in these pages. Thank you for taking the time to learnmore about Mosaic and for being a dedicated partner in our mission to love and serve others. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
