| Project Description: |
| The need for residential treatment and supportive housing for individuals disabled by mental illness has been well documented in our community. It has currently been identified as a priority in both the Comprehensive Health and Social Services Master Plan 2001-2004 and the District 11 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Service Plan FY 2003-2006. This population is currently underserved in Miami-Dade County. Fellowship House would like to request $600,000 to assist our organization to provide individuals with severe and persistent mental illness with safe, decent and affordable housing as well as the necessary supportive services that are essential to their long-term adaptation to community living. The funding will be utilized to renovate existing residential facilities and purchase needed equipment, furniture, and other items necessary for daily living

| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Fellowship House has documented significant program effectiveness that reflects decreased psychiatric hospitalization, incarceration and institutionalization as well as increased functional capacity, employability and community reintegration. Fellowship House provides more than just housing and supportive services. It provides a community of long term support, acceptance and hope for people that have been stigmatized by the devastating effects of severe and persistent mental illness. |
