DETROIT'S HEALTHY HOUSING CENTER
NSO's Detroit Healthy Housing Center (DHHC) is part of a $20 Million vision
and is our innovative approach to end chronic homelessness in the City of
Detroit. It is a comprehensive site with a holistic service model, pairing hous-
ing and an emergency shelter with healthcare, extensive case management & supportive services. The project aims to not only end homelessness but pro-
mote health equity and well-being while uplifting and developing the community.
This new one-of-a-kind service delivery model for low-barrier emergency shelter
will operate using four core pillars.
- Social Justice Programming
The DHHC will provide emergency shelter for 56 single adults with specific focus
on the medically fragile and women. Permanent housing transition support serv-
ices will be provided to all residents. The DHHC will also include a Medical Respite
unit along with an integrated health clinic. Medical Respite is an evidence-based temporary care strategy for individuals experiencing homelessness. The model
offers medical and behavioral health care and wraparound services for individuals
who are too sick to be in a shelter or on the street, but not sick enough to remain hospitalized.
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
NSO’s Supportive Housing uses a “Housing First” approach to provide permanent supportive housing services to formerly homeless adults. Our immediate and pri-
mary goal is to help individuals to quickly access and sustain permanent housing.
NSO’s commitment to Supportive Housing includes the renovation of the historic Michigan Bell building into 155 one-bedroom apartments for formerly homeless
adults as well as supportive scattered-site housing throughout the city. NSO con-
tinues its mission to end homelessness through the development of 45 apartment supportive housing project-The Clay Center, a campus to end homelessness on the corner of Mack and Gratiot Ave.in Detroit.
NSO BELL BUILDING
In 2012, NSO opened the largest supportive housing apartment complex for home-
less individuals in the city of Detroit. The historic Michigan Bell Building was trans-
formed into 155 one-bedroom apartments, providing homes for formerly homeless adults. The program provides all necessary services to empower residents to take
charge of their life by connecting them to life skills groups, substance abuse serv-
ices, basic computer skills, employment services, and primary health care at the
on-site, Federally Qualified Health Center and Mobile Dental service.
NSO CLAY CAMPUS
The NSO Clay Campus is a comprehensive site with an all-inclusive service model, pairing housing and emergency shelter with healthcare, case management & supp- ortive services, that will focus on ending homelessness for the people we serve &
uplift our entire community. This innovative campus will include 42 units of Perm-
anent Supportive Housing, emergency shelter for 56 adults and a service center to
offer integrated health care and wraparound services.

grams, resume-writing and job-search help, housing help, and classroom
and other educational instruction. The combination of a structured environ-
ment, one-on-one interaction with counselors, group therapy, classroom
settings and real-world encounters helps ease the transition from incarcer-
ation to freedom.
