For the past few years our Awards were being held virtually and although we loved seeing everyone’s faces on our computer screens nothing beats spending  quality time in person. On April 25th, 2023 we held our Awards in person at Jungle Island in Miami, FL. It was great to be able to celebrate the hard work put forth by all in 2022 in such an amazing venue with spectacular views. We all enjoyed the Animal encounter where everyone had the opportunity interact with 4 different species of animals housed at the Jungle Island. Employees loved the snake encounter..well some more than others. Everyone enjoyed themselves and took home lots of awards! We are very proud of all our sites!

It is with tearful eyes but pride-filled hearts that we announce the dissolving of our beloved One on One, One by One Program. One on One as it is often referred to is the very heart of what Royal American was created for- the urge to provide better lives to those in our community. While RA was established to provide safe and affordable homes for everyone, One-on-One came into fruition to further that mission by extending a hand to our fellow citizens and lift them up.

One on One, One by One is a non-profit service provider that assists in various welfare reform programs and workforce development services. They support all of Bay, Gulf, and Franklin counties in the Panhandle of Florida. The program has been serving these communities for over 20 years and has assisted thousands of individuals with workforce services. The program staff provides the necessary support to families who have significant barriers to finding and retaining employment. The One-on-One program staff provides the necessary tools, resources, referrals, training, and career development for clients who need careful and strategic planning in getting back into the workforce. One on One caters to all ages and manages many programs including the Welfare Transition Program (WT) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) that serves (ABAWDs) Able-Bodied Adults without Dependent Children between the ages of 18-49.

With bittersweet news, the Royal American family would like to show much gratitude to Darryl Tarpley for over 30 years of service.

 

 

 

Darryl started with Royal American in 1992 and has been a crucial part of our running success in Crestview, Florida. Darryl started at ­­­­Bent Creek I & II as a Maintenance Supervisor and retired as an Area Manager over 5 of our Crestview, FL properties. (Crestview I & II, Bent Creek I & II, and Brookmeade)

Darryl has been very knowledgeable and a warm supervisor to his employees and residents.  Darryl has won numerous occupancy & inspection awards. As Darryl retires, he is excited to settle into his newly built home.

You will be missed by many at Royal American, and we wish you the very best on your new journey.
