Our biggest need is always the financial support of our community and donors.  Please see our donation page to help.  Our second biggest need is new landlords willing to rent affordable housing to our clients. We operate below capacity because of the need for affordable housing in our community.  If you are a landlord and want more information or are interested in renting with NMSH, call us at 231.929.1309.
