Supportive Housing

At NEF, we are working with partners across the country to end homelessness by providing permanent affordable housing solutions for individuals and families with special needs. We are keenly aware of the increasing need for housing that is both affordable and provides supportive services. NEF answers that call, with more than $1 billion of our $6.4 billion housing portfolio invested in service-enriched developments.

Ending Homelessness.
Rebuilding Communities.
Changing Lives.

Featured Project: Seneca SRO

Seneca SRO

The $15 million Seneca SRO project is a stellar example of collaboration and creative financing that addresses a dire housing shortage in Buffalo, N.Y. Developed by two organizations with stellar track records in providing supportive housing for persons living with psychiatric disabilities and other special needs populations, the Seneca SRO is a new 75-unit construction project built upon the former site of an asbestos-ridden bowling center, and it is one of the first projects to leverage tax credits and private debt with OMH funding designated for a CR-SRO.  Sponsor DePaul Group, provides support services that focus on assisting residents in developing individual support plans.
