emergency housing for up to 40
individuals. The second floor,

Thrive is an integrative mental health initiative to
address the escalating mental illness crisis among
homeless, low-income, uninsured, and under-insured
populations. In collaboration with Interfaith Ministries of
Calhoun County and St. Michael’s Medical Clinic, we
seek to breakdown the barriers to mental health access
for our most vulnerable residents.
