How Inlet Started
Inlet was the first program developed by CISS. It’s been around since 1990 and has since become the “evolving program”. As it was first developed to help deinstitutionalize people from Woodlands it has remained more focused on the aging individual. But as many of them have retired, Inlet has seen many changes over the years. Currently, there are individuals as young as 30 enjoying the day program at Inlet.

Derek worked at the seniors soup and sandwich program at Kyle Kitchen since June 2005, he then left the program in February 2009 to pursue paid employment. He is now working at East Side Mario’s, in a paid position as of April 2009, so all the time Derek spent at the Kyle Kitchen program paid off. Good job Derek, on a successful year of paid employment.
