Virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony for The Cottages on Friday, November 6 — Noon


A ribbon-cutting ceremony for The Cottages at Green Lake, 930 W. Second St., will be at noon Friday, Nov. 6. The Cottages will provide permanent supportive housing for individuals with serious persistent mental illness. Supportive housing is a combination of affordable housing and supportive services designed to help vulnerable individuals and families use stable housing as a platform for health and recovery.

The ceremony will include brief remarks from Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority Executive Director Shannon Oury, Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority Board Chair Joshua Powers, Douglas County Commission Chair Patrick Kelly, and Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center CEO Patrick Schmitz. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the local public health order’s limit on gatherings, the invitation-only event will be live-streamed through Douglas County’s Facebook page at facebook.com/douglascountyks.
