Long Term Housing Program

The Long Term Housing Program provides affordable, stable housing units with reduced rent.   Family members participate in all of the intensive social work and education service programs offered by New Ground on average for three to five years.  All families are assigned a social worker and create an Individual Service Plan outlining the goals they want to achieve and the steps to make them happen.  They meet weekly to address the challenges and areas of concern that are preventing them from living successful, independent lives.

“My greatest accomplishments in the New Ground program were HOME OWNERSHIP, clearing up my credit, going back to school, and learning how to be disciplined.  The New Ground program helped us tremendously.  The staff was very patient with anything that we needed... They always encouraged me and when I actually achieved the goals I was applauded.  It made me feel good, and want to try even harder to reach my goals.  They have all the tools that you need to succeed – it’s up to you to use them for your success.” - Melissa, New Ground client
