Portage Manor in South Bend is officially closing.

That’s according to the St. Joseph County Council and Board of Commissioners.

They’ve been investigating ways to keep the building afloat for three years, but a decision has been made to close it.

Portage Manor has been an important place for the community for over a century, and county officials have stated that they are working to find safe and suitable housing for all of its residents.

A closing date has not yet been released.
