Goal
is to build A village for those with disorders.
A NAMI
family passionate about the mentally ill has established a nonprofit group
in the hope of building a housing development promoting self-sufficiency
and community.
Louise
and John Hancock established Desertstar Project for
the Mentally Disabled, made up of parents, siblings and friends of
the mentally ill who desire a high quality of life for the mentally
disabled. The group seeks to build Desertstar Village, an approximately $9 million
housing development for 140 - 163 residents with mental disorders.
"Our
goal is to provide housing, rentals and permanent homes for people who
can actually be self-sufficient and take care of themselves," Louise Hancock
said. "So many people live in isolation."
"When
the parent dies our people will have a place forever," said Louise Hancock.
The
fear of not having a place to live can loom as large as the fear of their
parents dying, she said.
