Goodwin Living was featured in McKnight's Senior Living News piece focused on the unique and resident-inspired program that helps senior living staff members achieve US citizenship. The program began when a resident of Goodwin House Bailey’s Crossroads in Falls Church, VA, learned that the US citizenship application fee was very costly, as she recognized that it took staff members several years and multiple jobs to save up the money. With the support of the Goodwin Living Foundation, the residents raised $40,000 in a few weeks, leading to the creation of a citizenship program. Goodwin is sharing its success in the hopes of inspiring other communities to adapt the program to their needs.
