PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD helps to transform lives of people with behavioral health and intellectual and developmental disabilities needs by providing them an accessible, integrated and comprehensive recovery-oriented system of care.

The new housing community, designed by RDLR Architects, will be located off the 610 South Loop Freeway in Houston, Texas. The site hosts an existing one-story mental health facility that will serve as a clinical resource for the residences of the community. The new housing development will include two, 2-story apartment buildings which will flank a community building and ADA accessible apartments.

The community will include a total of 26 one-bedroom apartments for clients transitioning from institutional care to independent living and provide a safe place for them to practice life skills, reestablish a sense of stability, and perhaps make friends in the process.
