If we can get housing right, many of our social, medical and educational ills will fall into place. Mixing together often, community-by-community, is a strategy to stabilize families and neighborhoods by providing resources to secure appropriate housing.
Given the premise that our predominate housing model - single person/single family homes may not be ideal for all demographic groups, New Community Vision facilitates Housing Mixers to promote alternative housing options that are appropriate and secure for the gamut of life stages, whether that is 20 and starting out, or 80 and winding down ...read more

New Community Vision Housing Mixers are gatherings where people consider their various housing options and meet others doing the same. New Community Vision seeks to partner with licensed social service professionals to support housing clients navigating the uncertain process of settling somewhere new. Working with social service professionals, New Community Vision will screen and vets potential residents, homemakers, and households and maintain a clearing house of available housing and potential homemakers and sharers. Each NCV approved household will contract with a social worker who meets with the entire household for monthly communication tune ups to ensure that the household functions at as high a level as possible.
