This facility will be a 6-bedroom home for people ~ mental illness. <br />Residents are indiviclual already residing in Cabarrus County in need of housing. They are clients of <br />Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare (PBH) <br /> <br />The Menial Health Association (MI-IA) has a 16-year tract record of establishing ~i~ type of housing. <br />We currently have 8 facilities in Mecklenburg and 1 that will be built In Cabarrus later this year. Our <br />effort Is strongly supported by numerous partners, including: PBH, HUD, NC General Assembly, and <br />others. Ti3e facility will De operat~ by PBH or one of their contract providers. The MI-IA will remain as <br />owners of the physical plant and monitor the sen/Ice within the facility, <br /> <br />Appropriate housing is a large gap in the continuum of mental health services.
