HomePlate Nome, LLC is a Housing First project designed to provide a path toward housing permanency for Nome’s most vulnerable chronically homeless population. HomePlate is 15-unit studio apartment building for single occupancy with an on-site property manager’s unit. The design includes an onsite medical and mental health clinic with space for individual counseling. Nome Community Center's experience in caring for Nome's homeless individuals through the NEST (Nome Emergency Shelter Team) operations and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program, has been the springboard to the development of the first supportive housing project of its type on the western edge of the state.
Our first tenet moved in December 2023. Currently all 15 units are filled. The location provides easy access for tenants to the public safety services, the Wellness Center and the hospital.
We estimated that there were 30 chronic homeless on the streets of Nome. This project has housed half of them. Future efforts to end homeless in Nome will require additional supportive housing.
