A $12,500 grant from the Mercer County Civic Foundation (MCCF) is helping to replace a fire panel in one of Mercer Residential Services (MRSI) mental health housing units in Celina. MRSI has been providing housing to individuals facing mental health challenges. Many of these individuals have a difficult time maintaining employment as well as securing housing. The apartment units come furnished and provide safe and affordable housing to tenants while also providing the individuals the opportunity to be a viable part of the community. The fire panel in one six plex unit has outlived its life expectancy and is in need of being replaced. The fire panel is connected to a fire monitoring system and the fire department will be notified and dispatched immediately in the event fire is detected. We cannot express our humble gratitude enough for the funds we received. MRSI is very appreciative of everything the Mercer County Civic Foundation does to support everyone in Mercer County
