The Mental Health Association of Central Carolinas, Inc. (MHA) has <br />a successful history in establishing housing for this population. <br /> <br />Supervised housing is an important component of a quality continuum of care for adults with <br />mental illness. The Cabarms County Board of Commissioners heartily supports the Mental <br />Health Association's application to the United States Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development for funding support for a group home to serve Cabarrus County residents with <br />mental illness. We understand Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare will serve the residents to the <br />extent of available resources. <br /> <br />You are encouraged to give the MHA's application favorable consideration. Please advise if we <br />can provide additional insight in this regard. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Robert M. Freeman <br />Chairman, Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />RMF/sb <br /> <br /> Board of County Commissioners <br />P.O.
