Home is where it all starts. Housing is an essential part of building stability, security, and wellness for everyone.
Our housing programs are open to all people, with specialized communities for families, seniors, chronically homeless individuals, and homeless youth ages 18 - 24.
At each of our communities, NAC offers on-site programs and activities with the purpose of helping residents improve health & wellness; increase financial literacy; and encourage family strengthening. Co-ordinated by our Resident Services Team, classes and activities are offered throughout the year and are tailored to meet the interests of each unique community. Households are encouraged to participate, not only for their own benefit, but to build a welcoming, supportive environment and sense of true community as well.
Activities include cooking demonstrations, financial management, job and career development, AA support groups, family communication strategies, and afterschool and summer programs for kids. The Resident Services Team also assists with the Resident Empowerment Program which offers residents the opportunity to become involved in building a safe, supportive environment at each community.
