About Marsh Brook Place:
Marsh Brook Place is a 40-unit apartment building that will be located at 5981 Chatterton Road, just west of Brice Road. The three-story building will provide supportive housing for transition-aged youth (ages 18-24) who may struggle with homelessness, have aged out of foster care into unstable housing, are experiencing mental health conditions and substance use disorders, or have been victims of domestic violence or human trafficking. Community Housing Network will develop and manage the property, and Huckleberry House will provide on-site, youth-focused supportive services.
Marsh Brook Place is part of Community Shelter Board’s Community Plan for Youth initiative, which is funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. For more information about the initiative, please visit www.csb.org/how-we-do-it/new-services-for-youth.
