Jennifer Salva-Cushing

With an immediate family member in the IID population who receives support through JCDS, Jennifer is deeply familiar with challenges that many members of the IDD population face–particularly in their efforts to lead more independent lives.  Serving on the Friends of JCDS Board allows Jennifer to help address some of these challenges–particularly independent, accessible and affordable housing–for the members of the community we serve. Just as important to Jennifer, Friends of JCDS improves the lives of the community at large by fostering inclusivity and understanding.
