The Whirl: TLC Campus Dedication

On June 5, TLC, founded as the Tammy Lynn Center, dedicated its Raleigh campus following a $9.8 million investment in residential care for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The event celebrated the new Collard residence and renovations to the Tucker and Moore homes, highlighting more accessible, welcoming spaces for the residents who call TLC home. The project was made possible through support from SECU Foundation and partners including the City of Raleigh, Wake County Government, the Lonnie & Carol Poole Family Foundation, TowneBank Foundation, Monteith Construction, BSA, CORE Collaborative, NCHFA and Craig and Susan Collard.
