Helping People Find Home
Tonight, more than 200 people in our region will spend the night without a safe home to sleep in.
Goodwill Northern Michigan operates community programs and builds systems that help people find home in Northern Michigan. The Goodwill Inn offers emergency shelter year round for families and individuals. Street Outreach meets people experiencing unsheltered homelessness they are with resources to end homelessness. Our supportive housing programs and transitional housing community for veterans work with families and individuals to build long-term housing success. Together with community partners in the Northwest Michigan Coalition to End Homelessness, we’re working to make homelessness rare, brief, and one-time in Northern Michigan.
If you or someone you know is facing homelessness in Northwest Michigan, please call 1-844-900-0500 or visit the Coalition to End Homelessness.
Street Outreach
We reach out to people experiencing homelessness and offer resources to help them find a safe and secure home. We work with our partners in the Basic Needs Coalition to ensure people’s needs are met while we help people overcome obstacles to ending homelessness.
From referral to our local partners in the Coalition to End Homelessness to emergency assistance or emotional support, our outreach and housing navigation teams help connect people to long-term solutions for ending homelessness.
Supportive Housing
Helping people to maintain safe and permanent housing after experiencing homelessness and surviving domestic violence is a critical part of the work to end homelessness. Our supporting housing programs at Carson Square, Keystone, and Brookside help tenants stay safe in stable housing by providing support and access to community services.
Patriot Place for Veterans
Patriot Place is Northern Michigan’s only Veterans transitional housing community for male Veterans experiencing homelessness. At Patriot Place, Veterans receive support and stability before moving to permanent housing in a supportive community specifically designed for our Veterans.
