HOUSING
NSO operates three transitional housing programs and two permanent housing programs. Our residents are provided with a safe, healthy home, life skills classes and case management services. They each enjoy their own personal space as well as the strong community bond that
exists among the residents. With NSO, they all have a family.
NSO also has a Continuum of Care program, where we follow our residents as they take their first step toward independent living.
NSO’s Housing Programs serve more than 250 every year
“In my 11 years with NSO, I’ve been
blessed to see so many individuals, who were without hope, gain self-worth and find the path to success by having a safe and healthy place to call home. It brings me great joy to see NSO and its programs continue to grow and help our community more than ever.”
- Tracy Long, Director of Housing
