Mental Illness

Description

Provides communal housing to assist homeless individuals with mental illnesses who are active members of society and want to live independently. Those who benefit most are persons who may not be able to afford things like rent, food, transportation and utilities on their own, but could do so with the help of other house mates. Lodge members share in the day-to-day experiences of running a home, and do so more affordably than if they lived on their own. Lodge members create their own house rules and manage their own activities. Lodges are member-managed. Staff assist only as needed and are available in emergency situations.
