People Inc. Installs Emergency Generators and Sprinklers Thanks to $50,000 Grant
Mar 23, 2026
Thanks to a $50,000 grant secured through New York State Senator Samra G. Brouk, People Inc. has installed emergency generators and sprinkler systems in four Individualized Residential Alternatives facilities in Rochester, NY.
These four facilities are home to nearly 30 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including many who have complex medical needs that require daily monitoring and support. The new generators will ensure that critical systems and medical equipment continue to operate during power outages.
Several residents rely on multiple medications, including some that must be refrigerated. Oxygen and CPAP equipment are also in use at the sites, making reliable backup power essential to the health and safety of the people living in the facilities.
People Inc. offers a variety of programs and services in the Greater Rochester region, including care management, community habilitation, residential services, respite services, deaf access services, self-directed services, vocational/employment services and more.
