Details

New Community Shelter is a nonprofit organization that helps homeless adults and serves dinner 365 days a year and lunch all holidays and every weekend to anyone in the community in need. The New Community Shelter serves the most vulnerable adults in our community; getting them off the street, addressing substance abuse and addiction, and helping them become self-sufficient. NCS offers an Emergency Shelter providing residents with food, shelter, case management, counseling, vocational/educational assistance, life skills, employment and other classes, access to health care and other supportive services to up to 118 people at a time. New Community Shelter serves as a bridge for our residents—it is the first step off the streets and into a structured program for many of them. As such, it takes dedicated and consistent efforts to help them transition into a communal living environment and begin healthy lifestyles. Residents often come from jail, the streets, parks, and mental health facilities, and many struggle with drug or alcohol use; thus, we have a broad range of needs to address, from basic health and hygiene to cleaning up substance abuse. NCS is also the only place in Brown County with beds specifically reserved for veterans.
