HUD Apartment Housing Project to Move Forward in Kerrville

Bill Matthews, NAMI Kerrville president, and Phil Jones, project chair, report that construction will begin on Cedar Elm Place before the end of the year. The initial closing was scheduled for November 16 in San Antonio and then the building was to commence. This project will consist of 15 apartment units, one providing for an on-site manager, plus a community building for social activities for the consumer residents.

Not only does the grant provide for the building of the units, but also provides for rent subsidy for the consumers. A project management agency will be hired to manage the complex and its residents.

From the very beginning when this goal was first dreamed of by NAMI Kerrville, many persons have had a hand in keeping the goal in our sights. We especially owe a tremendous thanks to Phil and Bill for their patience and perseverance in seeing this third application through to the initial closing. Also our consultant, Oscar San Miguel, has been very faithful to "hang" with us since the beginning of our second turned-down application in 2000.
