The Hanover Township Mental Health Board approved $10,000 in capital funding to Journeys: The Road Home during their meeting on Oct. 26.

Funds will support Journeys' construction of a two-story facility in Palatine to serve Township residents with critical supportive services, shelter and permanent or transitional housing. Founded in 2001, the non-profit agency provides shelter, social services and housing to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless in 37 towns in north/northwest suburban Cook County.

The Mental Health Board also conducted funding hearings for the Kenneth Young Center and the American Association of Retired Asians for FY23 service contract applications.

Consideration for both applications will be on the board's January 2022 agenda.

The next meeting of the Mental Health Board will take place at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15, at the town hall, 250 S. Route 59, Bartlett.

Hanover Township serves over 101,000 residents in portions of the Cook County communities of Streamwood, Elgin, Bartlett, Hanover Park, Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg.
