On May 22, 2008, Cape Counseling Services held the Grand Opening for the Lily Mae Supportive Housing Apartments in Wildwood, NJ. On the right Freeholder Gerald Thornton and Sabrina Hand of the Cape May County Department of Human Services present an award to Greg Speed.
We are posting today, photos from the Grand Opening. We will be posting more videos on Wednesday. To view our prior posts on this project click here.
The Lily Mae is a two-story building in Wildwood, New Jersey that has undergone substantial renovations over the past year. The project will provide supportive housing for twelve homeless individuals with chronic disabilities. The building was originally operated as a motel and most recently as a boarding home for low-income persons with disabilities until Cape Counseling Services acquired it in 2004.
These are some of thirty-eight (38) photos from the grand opening.
