The Hanover Township Mental Health Board approved $50,000 in Capital Funding at its April 23 meeting at the Township Senior Center.

The board awarded $25,000 to Mayville Academy for renovations and other improvements to their Casa Salama house in Bartlett. The facility houses female youth with a mental health diagnosis, history of abuse and neglect, or an intellectual disability.

Marklund also received $25,000 to assist with the expansion and renovation of their Wasmond Center in Elgin. Increasing the size of the residence will allow the agency to house 20 more medically complex children and adults with developmental disabilities.

The Mental Health Board will meet next on May 28 at 6:30 p.m., at the Senior Center, 240 S. Route 59, Bartlett.

Hanover Township serves over 100,000 residents in portions of the Cook County communities of Streamwood, Elgin, Bartlett, Hanover Park, Hoffman Estates, and Schaumburg.
