Building Hope for Recovery: Places at Page

Places at Page Project Overview

As profiled in the Summer 2009 edition of Perspectives, PfP's new construction project, Places at Page, will provide supported housing for people with severe mental illness.

• The 2 1/2 floors plus the lower level will be extensively renovated for use by residents and staff.
• Staff will be on-site around the clock and will provide community support and monitor the entrance.
• The facility will feature 23 residential units, consisting of 9 efficiency, 10 one-bedroom, and 4 two-bedroom apartments.
• Three overnight rooms will be available for short-term use to address special situations.
• All major systems will be replaced.
• Minor exterior repairs will be made to preserve the structure's historic integrity. (The building is on the National Register of Historic Places.)

With development assistance from ND Consulting Group, the plans for this project have been designed by Jeffrey A. Brambila, AIA, Architects and Planners of St. Louis.

Financing plans include a combination of tax credits, public funding, and private donations.

Thanks to generous funding from the Sidney R. Baer, Jr., Foundation, tear out and clean out is complete, making this project ready for construction when financing is complete.

Update:
In April 2010, Places at Page benefitted from a "Project Blitz" coordinated by Operation Brightside. Over 150 volunteers participated in the cleanup project. Volunteers came from Operation Brightside, Americorps, and staff, clients and supporters of PfP.
