The Other Side Village will help those coming out of homelessness to find purpose, meaning, and joy with permanent, affordable housing in a supportive community
@RiledUpRoo@OAS_SLC@slcmayor We invite you to come to The Other Side Academy and take a tour and talk with the residents to see for yourself. We welcome visitors.
@OAS_SLC@slcmayor We anticipate that many of those who chose to live in the Village will have a broad spectrum of mental illnesses and disabilities and we will have onsite wrap-around services for them.
@cryptidthottie@Wilkinsonfamil5@slcmayor We have no plans to force anyone nor do we have any authority to do so. We hope to create a warm, safe, nurturing environment and invite people to come live there. We will have full wrap-around professional medical and mental health services on site.
@LaughLax@Wilkinsonfamil5@slcmayor The Other Side Village and The Other Side Academy serve 2 different groups. The Academy is 2.5 years for life skills and vocational training and often is an alternative to incarceration, while the Village is to provide permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless.
@Wilkinsonfamil5@slcmayor We expect that the majority of the participants within The Other Side Village will have mental health and physical challenges and we will have wrap-around onsite services for them. The Other Side Academy is different and does require good health.
@OAS_SLC@slcmayor At The Other Side Academy, we do require participants to be in good health, but not for The Other Side Village, who will have access to wrap-around mental health and medical facilities and services on site.
Welcome to the launch of The Other Side Village! We look to help those coming out of homelessness to find purpose, joy, and meaning with permanent, affordable housing in a supportive community.
