An Information Release: “GAAMHA Transparency Statement”
Text of an Information Release by GAAMHA 6-17-24
GAAMHA is in the preliminary stages of a potential opportunity that would involve the sale of our property located at 827 Green St. Please understand that this is a complicated transaction with many contingencies and regulatory processes. In the interest of transparency with our stakeholders and keeping the community discussion based on factual information, we would like to share the following.
1. GAAMHA operates two programs at the 827 Green St location. The Carl E. Dahl House is a 16-bed Co-Occurring Enhanced Residential Recovery Home for adult men diagnosed with substance use and mental health disorders. ROOTS at Evergreen Grove is an outpatient program for young people ages 12-24 seeking support for challenges related to mental health and substance use. The success of these unique programs has created an overwhelming demand for expanded services.
2. GAAMHA is in the preliminary stages of a potential opportunity that would involve the sale of our current farm, but only if we are able to relocate to another nearby property and build larger facilities for both Dahl House and ROOTS allowing us to expand capacity.
3. GAAMHA exists to create a world where people can get help when they ask for it, no matter who they are. This mission is what drives our decision making and is our singular interest in this matter.
4. If for any reason this deal does not materialize, we will continue our work at the current location, and continue to redefine what community support should look like.
5. GAAMHA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and our sole purpose is the fulfillment of our mission. This real estate transaction is not an endorsement of any future use for the land. GAAMHA cares deeply about the trust placed in us by the communities we serve. We will continue to work with persistence to uphold the high standard of service and integrity that GAAMHA is known for.
