Support Solutions acquires supportive home in Minot with Genesis Fund loan

In mid-December Support Solutions, a nonprofit agency in that serves those with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges in Androscoggin, Oxford , Kennebec, Cumberland , and York Counties , used a $69,200 loan from the Genesis Fund to acquire a single-family manufactured home in Minot to provide housing and supportive services to an individual with developmental disabilities. Support Solutions has determined that the rural and private location of the property is a good setting for the challenges of the resident. Support services, including the supportive housing provided, is subsidized through the Department of Health and Human Services.

While Support Solutions has developed several residential programs with MaineHousing, this project, serving one individual, was deemed too small. Fortunately, the Genesis Fund as a private, flexible lending institution was able to step in to assist the agency acquire the property.
