Richland County Mental Health & Recovery Services Board Plans $1.8 million Apartment Complex (Joseph Trolian)

July 1, 2023

In keeping with a long standing tradition of providing appropriate housing available for people with mental illnesses, Executive Director Joseph Trolian of the Richland County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board is planning a new apartment complex. Director Trolian has worked with the Richland County Land Bank to obtain several properties on First Street to build a 12 unit 1-bedroom permanent supportive housing facility. Joe Trolian asserted that this facility will be the fourth permanent supportive housing complex owned by the Board and, as with the others, will be managed by Catalyst Life Services. Christy Ellis-Trolian stated that Joe feels that appropriate housing and safety are so essential to recovery.

The cost for this building project is estimated at $1.8 Million. This is being funded through a combination of a matching capital grant with the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services with the local match provided through the Board’s Capital Reserve. Trolian stated that this will continue to build options for people in need of housing that are also diagnosed with a severe mental illness.
