SAINT LOUIS MHB – HOUSING COMMITTEE CHARTER
PURPOSE:
The City of Saint Louis Mental Health Board of Trustees’ (Saint Louis MHB) Housing Committee is an ad-hoc committee formed to oversee the administration of the Board’s Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Fund established from the Community Mental Health Fund. The PSH Fund is made available primarily through forgivable loans for rehab or new build of PSH units for persons with serious behavioral health conditions in need of permanent housing and supportive services to stabilize their behavioral health conditions.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Housing Committee meets on an ‘as-needed’ basis to review submitted letters of intent and to determine whether these initial proposals should move on to a full application. They will reconvene after an application is received to review, discuss, and vote on whether to bring the project to a full Trustee vote at an upcoming Board meeting. They may also meet to discuss issues surrounding any previously funded projects to ensure each is fulfilling its obligations with respect to signed covenants.
COMMITTEE COMPOSITION:
The current configuration of the MHB Housing Committee includes three (3) Trustees and three (3) community volunteers with specific expertise.
STAFF TO THE COMMITTEE:
Executive Director, Director of Operations, and MHB Legal Counsel
