Officials with the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center announced in March that the organization has received a $100,000 federal grant to provide rental assistance to individuals with mental illness.

The grant will be administered by the Residential Housing Services division at Bert Nash. The grant is part of the federal HOME Tenant Based Rental Assistance program.

Bert Nash has been involved in the program for the past 10 years and works with the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority on the project.
