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.

• Housing is Healthcare

• Social Justice Programming

• Community Development

• Restorative Services

The DHHC will provide emergency shelter for 56 single adults with specific focus 
on the medically fragile andwomen. 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

Breathing Room is NOT a rental assistance program. Breathing Room is an EMERGENCY TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PRO-
GRAM. HHFP will authorize off-site emergency short term housing for eligible unhoused persons and OR households at imminent risk of becoming homeless.

Authorized off site-shelter means lodging within a hotel or motel. HHFP works exclusively with several hotels near the 
pantry vicinity to accommodate clients. The program is designed to provide a bridge of temporary shelter (30 days max)
while granting the participant adequate time to find more stable housing and is not intended for individuals who are chron-
ically unhoused. Potential applicants who apply without a viable housing plan after 30 days of emergency shelter will not 
be considered.

The Emergency Shelter-Basic Center Program 
is licensed as a Child Caring Institution by the Michigan Department of Consumer and Indus- try Services. FYI does not take health insur- ance insurance and is free to youth and fam- ilies. A maximum of 6 youth, ages 12 thru 17, 
can be housed for up to 21 days. The agency 
is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 
FYI also has a 24 hour crisis line for youth, families and those interested in referring a 
youth to the program.

We provide safe spaces for young people to have their basic needs met, be listened to & respected, discover more of their strengths
and talents and learn coping and resiliency skills. FYI can also be a place to start think-
ing about a positive future. We understand 
that most of the young people and their fam- ilies interested or involved in our programs 
have a had some tough or traumatic life experiences.
