09 Crisis, shelter and victim support

Detroit

Community services

Business hours

Detroit nonprofit offering street outreach, low-barrier emergency shelter, medical respite, supportive housing and integrated mental health and primary care for adults experiencing homelessness.

What it is

NSO has served Detroit since 1955. Today it runs the Detroit Healthy Housing Center, street medicine and outreach teams, permanent supportive housing at the Bell Building, and a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic.

Why it matters

People hurt in an accident or leaving jail sometimes have nowhere safe to recover. NSO is one of the few Detroit providers that combines a bed, a nurse and a case manager under one roof.

What to know first

For a shelter bed, Detroit routes everyone through CAM at (313) 305-0311 first. For mental health crises, NSO now points callers to DWIHN at (800) 241-4949. NSO's main line can direct you to the right program.

Limits and eligibility

Shelter and housing programs are for adults experiencing homelessness and are entered through Detroit's CAM system; NSO's former COPE crisis line is no longer in service.

What to have ready

  • Any ID you have
  • Medicaid or insurance card if you have one
  • Recent hospital discharge papers if seeking medical respite
  • A phone number where outreach can reach you
