Supportive Housing

Supportive housing pairs affordable housing with comprehensive on-site supportive services. It is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to be effective in improving housing stability, especially for chronically homeless individuals, as well as employment status and mental and physical health.

Supportive housing has also proven to be cost effective, as it reduces utilization of emergency rooms, hospitals, shelters, psychiatric facilities, and prisons.

NCS operates the following supportive housing facilities:
