ADAMH has a long history of partnering with local agencies to benefit and improve our community. Today, thousands of homeless Franklin County residents face obstacles preventing them from securing permanent housing; to date, approximately 64 percent of homeless Franklin County residents are in need of mental health care or substance abuse treatment. To meet this great need, ADAMH partners with organizations like the Community Shelter Board (CSB) to combat these issues.
