Lutheran Family Services (LFS) Receives
$110,700 from Region II Human Services To Help the Mentally
Ill
January 18, 2006 (North Platte, NE) - In 2005, the Nebraska
Legislature provided Affordable Housing Trust Fund monies to
Region II Human Services to be used to construct or rehabilitate
housing for low-income adults with serious mental illness. Lutheran
Family Services of Nebraska (LFS) was recently awarded $110,700
of those funds to help construct a new 10-unit apartment complex,
named Josiah Place, in North Platte, Nebraska. Josiah Place
will be home to low-income persons with serious mental illness.
“There is a tremendous need for the Josiah Place apartment
complex in North Platte,” said Dave Lund, LFS Regional
Director. “There are many persons living with a serious
mental illness who are quite capable of living on their own,
but who lack the resources required to rent apartments elsewhere.
Josiah Place will provide housing within walking distance of
many of the services these individuals will need.”
Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska anticipates breaking ground
for Josiah Place in early spring.
