Permanent Supportive Housing is a proven solution to homelessness for the most vulnerable chronically unhoused community members. It pairs housing with case management and supportive services. Leases are help with local landlords in the community in which we place individuals who have been chronically unhoused. Tenants are visited frequently and provided with support services, practical helps and connection to other services in the community.
Homeless prevention efforts support families struggling to pay rent and utilities due to crisis, unemployment, or life-altering events to keep individuals and families housed. Research shows that the cost to keep a family housed is much less than attempting to re-house later.
A housing coalition is facilitated by Nome Community Center to address housing solutions, meeting with community decision makers and interested parties involved with housing in some capacity. The severe shortage of housing stock in Nome and the region has resulted in poor outcomes for many struggling to provide safety and security for their families.
Over 50 households are assisted each year with back rent, utility and heating assistance. Eight chronic homeless are currently housed, some have gained employment, some are on a path to sobriety and others are getting the behavioral health services they need.
