LOCAL: NORTHWEST MICHIGAN SUPPORTIVE HOUSINGNorthwest Michigan Supportive Housing provides permanent supportive housing to those experiencing homelessness and struggling with mental illness. The supportive aspect of their housing refers to the services provided by NMSH, such as case management, budgeting, life skills and general home/health care. Case managers walk side-by-side with clients to help them improve their quality of life and gain the skills necessary to achieve their greatest level of independence. NMSH believes these services are a vital need for individuals and families to remain permanently and stably housed. https://nmshousing.org | NATIONAL: SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDRENShriners Hospitals for Children has a three-part mission but has one goal: to change and improve lives.
