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: Verne Barry Place

Verne Barry Place

Verne Barry Place is a creative example of building preservation and adaptation in Grand Rapids, Mich., designed to meet the needs of some of the area’s lowest-income residents. NEF invested $13.5 million on behalf of eight investors to fund this impressive "green" development.

The 116-unit supportive housing project, developed by Dwelling Place, Inc., features seven commercial spaces and serves homeless residents, including veterans.
