SALINAS, Calif. (KION) Interim announced that it will begin the construction of a complex of affordable housing for adults with mental illness with help from Monterey County Gives' Big Idea.

The organization plans to renovate a house in Salinas into three stories of studio apartments. The Sun Rose Apartments were originally a transitional home with seven beds, but the renovations would provide accommodations for another 11 people, according to Monterey County Gives.

They said the plan is to have support services- such as case management and mental health and peer support- and they will be provided by on-site counselors, peer staff and a resident manager.

Interim said the groundbreaking and the beginning of construction are scheduled for early 2021, and it is expected to be finished by early 2022.
