New Vitae Wellness and Recovery awarded $500,000 to offer improved mental health services for veterans

Posted

New Vitae Wellness and Recovery has been awarded an additional $500,000 in state grant funding to help the organization provide improved services to veterans and others with traumatic brain injuries at Mount Trexler Manor.
The funds were secured by state Sen. Pat Browne (R-16) through Pennsylvania’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP). The grant program supports economic, cultural, and civic improvement projects that have widespread impact and generate or sustain jobs and economic activity.

The new funds join $500,000 secured in a previous round of RACP funds, for a total of $1 million in grant funds for the project. RACP projects are authorized in the Redevelopment Assistance section of a Capital Budget Itemization Act, have a regional or multi-jurisdictional impact, and generate substantial increases or maintain current levels of employment, tax revenues, or other measures of economic activity.
New Vitae will use the funding to support improvements at Mount Trexler Manor, its licensed personal care home in Upper Saucon Township, Lehigh County. Improvements include the construction of eight-bed cottages that will provide residential treatment and programming for veterans and other individuals with brain injuries or mental health challenges.
