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. 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. A housing coalition is facilitated by Nome Community Center to address housing solutions in view of the severe shortage of housing stock in Nome and the region.
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 studio apartments built for single occupancy with an onsite property manager’s unit. This design also includes an onsite medical and mental health clinic with a room for individual counseling. The Nome Community Center's experience in caring for Nome's homeless individuals is through NEST (Nome Emergency Shelter Team) operations and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program.
The HomePlate apartments construction is expected to be completed by December of 2023 with a projected move in date of January 2024. A ground breaking ceremony was held on September 1st, 2022 at the corner of Nathan Barron Alley and G Street.
