Meet To Wol Yi from Meadowlark Manor Co-op. She's lived in her co-op longer than any other member within CSI's co-ops in the California region. She moved into Meadowlark Manor in 1991.

To Wol Yi was featured in our annual meeting report. This is the full-length interview.

Her reflections are a powerful reminder of the history, dedication, and commitment that have helped shape our co-ops and CSI over the past several decades. We thank her for being such a wonderful reminder of the importance of our mission.

These heartfelt stories are part of our legacy and part of what makes CSI so special. We are truly grateful for each of you.

City View in the Square hosted State Senator Sean McCann for a tour of the co-op this month. Senator Sean McCann and his staff had an opportunity to see the investment we are making with the renovations. Thank you, Senator McCann, for supporting the preservation of affordable housing for seniors and for visiting us. We'd love to have you back when all the work is complete.

Golden Ring Co-op had their annual Crab Feast on September 18. A few other Maryland region co-ops joined in on the fun and fellowship. They showed their Ravens pride by raffling off a fun filled basket put together by their amazing entertainment committee. The Maryland region is always looking forward to showing more Ravens pride and enjoying their co-op community!

Thank you to CSI board member Jerry Mahon, Jr. for sharing these photos with us!

Exciting changes are happening at Bishop Co-op (MI), where a $14 million renovation is in the homestretch. Built in 1971, Bishop holds a special place in CSI’s history as our second co-op constructed from the ground up. We expect this co-op to be at maximum occupancy before the end of this calendar year. Applicants can start the process by calling 800-593-3052. Here are some sneak peak pictures.

It is with profound sadness that we share the sudden passing of Karen Jones, Senior Certification Specialist. Karen was a valued member of the CSI Support & Development team for over 24 years. Karen always brought a smile and word of encouragement to her co-workers and the members in the Maryland region. She freely shared her experience and wisdom with all of us. Her loss is deeply felt. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Karen’s family, friends, co-workers, members and all who had the privilege of know her. Rest in Peace, Karen.

Last week Senator Elissa Slotkin’s regional manager for Oakland County spent time meeting with us at Royal Oak Manor (MI). The co-op officers joined us for a wonderful discussion about our housing model and their personal experience as members and volunteers. We also discussed challenges in our daily operations, as well as administrative challenges with preservation projects. It was a great discussion, followed by a first floor tour. We are so grateful for Senator Slotkin’s support for affordable senior housing. Last year our offices collaborated with each other on the Senator’s pro-affordable housing bill. We were grateful for the time her staff took with us Friday to shine a light on Royal Oak Manor, its beautiful members, and our successful cooperative affordable housing model.
