The ability to provide permanent housing to clients is a first for SPCC.
The new PSH Program which begins July 1st, 2011 will provide housing for the Severely and Persistently Mentally Ill and require ongoing support services. The goal for SPCC has always been to stabilize and ultimately house individuals in order to prevent homelessness.
While the grant will provide for rent, utility, maintenance and the support services the apartments will still require new home furnishings. SPCC is in need of donations for the apartments. Items needed are: new twin beds, dinettes, couch or chair and smaller items like silverware, towels, linens, dishes, glassware, and other miscellaneous house hold items. If anyone is interested in donating please contact Abbey Mortemore at (419)255–5520 x 224 or through e-mail at amortemore@spcc-toledo.org, or Brittany Sayre at (419)255-5520 x 216.
