Nicholas House

Nicholas Houses mission is to help families experiencing homelessness become self-sufficient by providing them with stable housing while addressing the root casus of their homelessness so that they never become homeless again. Nicholas House has four main programs for families who are either currently experiencing homeless or at risk of losing their home: 1. The Boulevard Emergency Shelter provides families a safe place to stabilize and sleep at night. Residents receive food and other necessities while we work with them to increase their income and secure housing.2. The New Horizons program provides permanent supportive housing to families with a chronic health condition for as long as they need it. Families pay 30% of their income towards their housing costs and receive case management support to support their health needs and reach their goals.. 3. Our Homeless to Homes program helps families who have lost their home to move back into housing. They receive financial assistance for rent and utilities for a limited time. Families begin by paying 30% of their income in rent and eventually take over rental payments in full over the course of a few months to as long as a year. 4. Our Housing Stability program helps families who are imminently at risk of becoming homeless due to a temporary crisis. They receive financial assistance to cover past-due rent or utility bills, and we help with mediation over any landlord disputes. We also provide case management support to help them navigate their financial crisis and ensure they can pay their rent going forward. Throughout all of our programs, Nicholas House is committed to assisting the families we serve attain three goals that form the basis of self-sufficiency: 1. Maintain safe and stable housing 2. Increase income so they can provide for the needs of their family and 3. Maintain the physical, mental, and social health of parents and children.
