Housing
Meridian’s outreach and prevention efforts seek to meet people where they are by identifying those in the community needing treatment and to engage them in appropriate services in order to prevent deterioration or the need for more intensive care. New Horizons Properties partners with Meridian to offer housing specifically for individuals who are regarded as Chronically Mentally Ill (CMI). Housing and Urban Development (HUD), defines CMI as “as person who has a severe and persistent mental or emotional impairment that substantially limits his or her ability to live independently, and whose impairment could be substantially improved by more suitable housing conditions.”
