This resolution commends the Institute for Community Living (ICL), a New York-based human services organization, on the occasion of its Annual Gala on May 14, 2025. Founded in 1986, ICL provides critical housing, health, and behavioral support services to over 13,000 individuals and families across New York City's five boroughs. The resolution highlights ICL's leadership under President and CEO Jody Rudin, emphasizing the organization's person-centered, trauma-informed approach to addressing mental health challenges, homelessness, developmental disabilities, and substance use disorders. The 2025 Gala, themed "Together, We Heal," is recognized as both a celebration of ICL's mission and a crucial fundraising event that underscores the organization's commitment to community, compassion, and collaborative action. The legislative body formally honors ICL for its nearly four decades of transformative service and its efforts to build a more equitable and supportive society, and will transmit an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to Jody Rudin.
