Red Tape Snares House of Love

A complaint has led to the potential closing of The Russell Home, a non-profit opened in the 50's in Orlando to give a home to atypical children & adults.

See the recent news report from WFTV9, Orlando's ABC affiliate.


"The Russell Home provides a multitude of services from residential care, 24-hour emergency care, daycare, dance classes, a classroom program, monthly field trips and social events for the special needs community. More importantly we are the 'HOME' for 25 special needs child-like adults, we are their family."

The issue at this time is the "AHCA, or any other State agency, does not have a license category to cover all of the services the Russell Home provides. There are licenses available for each of the individual services, but the State does not allow more than one license under one address."

The expansion of government continues to harm our citizenry.

Hopefully, in the case of this wonderful and loved charitable venture, we pray the issue can be solved and the hearts of many can continue to warmed by the outstanding work they lovingly perform.
