This new property was funded with the generous support provided by the Ohio Department of Mental Health, the ADM Board and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through its Continuum of Care Project.The house has eight individual apartments, each of which includes mini kitchen facilities. A common area is also available where tenants can socialize with each other and their friends.
