Daniel's Village, which provides supportive housing for young adults with early signs of mental illness, will hold its grand opening Sept. 11 in Santa Monica.

The facility is in a former motel at 2624 Santa Monica Blvd. on what was once Route 66. It will house seven young adults experiencing the initial symptoms of severe and persistent mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression.

The facility is a program of Step Up on Second, a recovery center for people middle age or older who have chronic mental illness. The goal is to steer tenants toward healthy independence so they can move on to other housing.
