February 25, 2002 <br /> <br />ICABARRUS COUNTYI <br /> NOfH~t CASOLINA <br /> <br />Mr. John Tote, Executive Director <br />Mental Health Association of North Carolina <br />3820 Bland Road <br />Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Tote: <br /> <br />Cabarms County recognizes the need in our community for housing for persons with disabilities, <br />especially the mentally ill. The Mental Health Association serving Cabarms and Mecklenburg <br />Counties (MHA) has a successful history in establishing housing for this population. <br /> <br />Supervised housing is an important component of a quality continuum of care for persons with <br />mental illness. The Cabarrus 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 persons with mental illness. We <br />understand Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare - Cabarms Center 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 />(Letter authorized by Board action at a meeting.on February 25, 2002) <br /> <br /> Board of County Commissioners <br />P,O.
