“The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been,
and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.”
— Pablo Casals

The Nome Children’s Home is a 10-bed emergency housing facility for children who have been removed from their parents’ homes by the Office of Children’s Services due to reports of harm or unsafe conditions in their home. For many children, those unsafe conditions include neglect and abuse. The Nome Children’s Home seeks to keep the children in the region, minimize the effect of trauma, and support the success of families. Children are welcomed into the home under a variety of different circumstances, and often times are provided with clothing, appropriate weather gear and other items to provide them comfort in their protective spaces.
NCC ensures the safety, permanency and well-being of children by strengthening families, engaging communities, and partnering with tribes.
As many as 40 children have cycled in and out of the care of the staff at the Nome Children’s Home in a given year. School attendance, health care and behavioral health interventions are the priority for those who become residents of the home.
