Additional Property Attributes

The site includes a three-story brick building in downtown Havre. The property houses an activity room and offices for a nonprofit organization, the Center for Mental Health. In 2014, the Center for Mental Health was looking to install a drop-ceiling in the first floor of the building. They suspected the existing ceiling may have asbestos because of the visual appearance of the spray-on ceiling texture, so they had it tested before moving forward with the drop-ceiling work. The surfacing material on the ceiling tested positive for asbestos, and the Center was given several options for management/abatement. The Center chose to manage the material in place by encapsulating the ceiling texture and sealing it. They chose this option to reduce costs associated with the ceiling while still protecting human health. They did not expect to have to revisit the ceiling material again, but a leak in the upstairs bathroom plumbing caused minor damage to the first-floor ceiling and they now have to readdress the ceiling materials. In order for the plumber to access the pipes and trace the leak, a portion of the ceiling will need to be removed, which is why the Center for Mental Health has come to Bear Paw Development at this time to further investigate potential hazardous materials and to apply for a cleanup subgrant to remove the ceiling. Currently, the Center for Mental Health is not able to utilize the upstairs bathroom, and the source of the plumbing leak has not been determined. Plumbing repairs cannot be done until the first-floor ceiling is abated in some way. Furthermore, the employees and clients do not have full use of the facility without the bathroom. The redevelopment plan for the Center for Mental Health is to abate the ceiling by removing all asbestos-containing materials, conducting repairs to the plumbing to prevent further leaking and damage, and then reinstalling a new ceiling with new lighting fixtures. The Center already has funding set aside for matching funds for the cleanup subgrant and funding to replace the ceiling and lighting once abated. The Center for Mental Health serves hundreds of clients in rural, north central Montana. The programs they provide include, but are not limited to, children�s case management, day treatment, outpatient therapy, veterans� affairs, and medication management. The Havre office provides jobs to 3 full-time staff members.

Former Use: The building was constructed in 1954 and was utilized as a bank for many years, including Havre Federal Savings and Loan, until it was purchased by the Center for Mental Health. The Center uses the building for employee offices as well as meeting space for clients. The building had renovations completed in 1963.
