Housing Options

The housing options program offers housing subsidies and assistance to locate safe, affordable housing to adults with a mental illness.  Zumbro Valley Mental Health Center currently provides short- and long-term housing opportunities in Olmsted County.

Housing options include:

• Thomas House – a licensed board and lodge that provides housing for up to six adults with mental illness.
• Northgate Community Housing – a twelve-unit apartment complex that provides long-term subsidized rent and support services to adults with a mental illness.
• Shared housing – a subsidized four-bedroom house.
• Shelter plus care - scattered site housing for adults with mental illness who are homeless.
