The Icon supports the 0.5 mil renewal levy of the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Allen, Auglaize and Hardin Counties. The levy is on the Nov. 3 ballot. If approved it will continue to support this agency’s current expenses for the next 10 years.

For 40 years, voters have approved this 0.5 mil levy, which supports basic mental health and alcohol and drug treatment for adults and children.

This renewal levy is not a new tax and ensures that these vial services for children, families and adults continue in our community.

Services like:
• Kids crisis team
• 24-hour crisis stabilization unit
• 1-800-567-HOPE Hope line
• Walk-in access services
• Texting hotline 741741
• Heroin addition treatment
• Psychiatry
• Substance abuse services for youth and adults

These programs serve tens of thousands of residents each year. This renewal levy costs most homeowners less than $14 a year.

Vote “Yes” of the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board tax levy.
