Places at Page now provides supported housing for people with severe mental illness. Prospective residents will include people who were formerly homeless, young adults who are learning to cope with their illnesses, and people who have recently been discharged from state psychiatric hospitals.

The 2 1/2 floors plus the lower level were extensively renovated for use by residents and staff.
Staff work around the clock on-site to provide community support and monitor the entrance.
The facility features 23 residential units, consisting of 9 efficiency, 10 one-bedroom, and 4 two-bedroom apartments.
Three overnight rooms are available for short-term use to address special situations.
All major systems were replaced.
Minor exterior repairs were made to preserve the structure's historic integrity.
Construction was completed in November 2011.

A Historic Project

Places at Page is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was originally built in 1908 as the Blind Girls' Home, which is now located in Kirkwood, MO. This project also has the distinction of being the first supported housing project to receive low-income housing tax credits from the Missouri Housing Development Commission. This funding was supplemented by historic tax credits and by generous donations of over $1 million from private funders.

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