Mental health opens transitional housing in Tahoe
El Dorado County Mental Health has opened a transitional housing unit in South Lake Tahoe to better meet local mental health needs.
The transitional housing site (also known as a T-house) provides a supportive living environment and services for mental health clients who need help transitioning to stable, independent living.
Up to six people at a time may live at the T-house, which provides a supportive community environment, mental health professionals and services, such as wellness groups, medication management and classes in basic life-skills such as cooking, cleaning, and managing other household responsibilities. Residents are also encouraged to explore college classes and volunteer opportunities and are assisted with job searches once they are stable.
The program is funded through state Mental Health Services Act.
Potential residents of the T-house are pre-screened by mental health staff and must meet eligibility requirements before moving in. People must also agree to live drug-free. Most residents will likely stay six to 12 months.

So where is this house?
Dog….I’m pretty sure the whereabouts of such places are kept private…for good reason.
Yes. Tell us where this house is.
Seems to me the residents of the neighborhood have a right to know when the government is moving unstables into their neighborhoods to live around their children.
Sure, they’ve got to live somewhere. But it is not fair to keep it a secret from people who have paid good money to live in a neighborhood they assume is regular working folks.
So Dogula, you who regularly advocate less government is now advocating some type of registered mental health program akin the sexual predator registry?
Bigs, if it is GOVERNMENT putting up OUR money for their housing, then YES. We ought to know exactly what they’re doing and where they’re doing it.
Whether or not the government SHOULD be doing it at all is a whole ‘nother discussion, as you well know.
I love how you guys try to play ‘gotcha’ with me all the time. Let’s deal with the real world as it is, okay?
So just because wrongula wants to know dosent mean she should. Maybe when she gets admitted than she can find out its location…
