ATLANTA, March 17, 2017-- 3Keys (formerly Project Interconnections) has broken ground on its latest community, offering homes for the most vulnerable residents of Atlanta. Phoenix House, 3Keys’ oldest facility, is renovating 24 existing apartments, the administration building and resident community room, as well as the new construction of 45 apartments. In all, 69 apartments will provide independent living within a supportive environment with 24-hour staff.
Scheduled for a late fall completion, Phoenix House will also provide on-site laundry facilities, a community room and security to its residents. The supportive services provided will help with meals, medication monitoring, and transportation as well as on-site case management and resources to off-site programs.
