Strategic Shift
Cindy Powell
We are enhancing existing residences to create comfortable, nurturing environments for adults living with mental illness. Our mission remains the same, but this new strategy leads to greater impact now.
Jefferson Center President “We are excited to hear about the new tactics. We are joyfully optimistic about the impact they will make in the quality of life for members of our community living with mental illness.”

Partnership
A YEAR OF IMPACT
We have partnered with Community Housing Network (CHN) to identify residences where we can have the greatest impact. CHN alone manages 1700 residences in Central Ohio.
Susan Weaver
Community Housing Network CEO “These enhancements by Melissa’s House will complement our recent improvements and create an even warmer environment. Pleasant surroundings are uplifting to everyone and we believe the enhancements will have a positive impact on our residents’ recovery and well-being.”
Making a Difference Our first Melissa’s House project has impacted 38 residents, the home’s tireless workers and the loved ones of all involved. Enhancements included a fresh color palette, new furnishings, accessories, flooring, lighting and landscaping.
Our Mission We are committed to making a positive difference in our community and are energized by the support we have received to fulfill our mission.
Collaboration Leading our design team is award winning interior designer Chris King of Manifesto, Inc. Comfortable, warm and nurturing spaces have a positive impact on residents, staff and family and friends who visit.
