In 2012, the McKenna Foundation began conversations with community stakeholders in response to the growing demand for affordable housing. These efforts led to the founding of NB Housing Partners–the county’s first nonprofit organization solely focused on addressing the housing crisis.
Since its inception, NB Housing Partners has played a vital role in helping our neighbors find stable housing and has fostered strong partnerships across the continuum of care. Working with the New Braunfels Food Bank, the Crisis Center of Comal County, the Salvation Army, and others, NB Housing Partners continues to be a lifeline for residents of our community experiencing the challenges of homelessness.
What they’re doing:
- First Footing: The First Footing program helps longtime New Braunfels residents overcome homelessness through shelter and support.
- HomeTeam: The Home Team prevents chronic homelessness by connecting individuals with essential support services.
- Pathways Village: Pathways Village provides supportive housing for adults rebuilding lives after homelessness.
- Next Step: Next Step addresses behavioral health in homeless populations through housing and support services.
