Service Enriched Rental Housing
We at Nehemiah Housing Services (NHS) believe that every family should live in a vibrant community, with access to quality services and unlimited potential to achieve their goals and desires.
We started with housing because it’s the place where families take shelter, live their lives, and dream their dreams for themselves and their kids. We realized, though, that houses don’t stand alone any more than people do. For homes and families to thrive, they need the protective comfort of community, and that’s what the staff, volunteers, and donors to Nehemiah are focused on creating – a strong and vibrant community that can sustain generations of families.
Our mission is to help the Westside Community become a better place to live. We exist because home matters. We began with actual houses, focusing on quality and stability to give people a place to start. But, there is more to a home than the house. Home is about the life that happens in and around the house as well as the life that fuels and draws out the best of the people within it.
Nehemiah Housing Services works in a defined geographic area like the Westside of Bartlesville to focus our resources where we can have the greatest impact.
While most organizations focus on one, maybe two, impact areas within a community, we understand that, to have a real impact, we must focus on all the areas that make up a thriving community, housing, education, health, job readiness, access and economic development.
