The Greenhouse Project

The Greenhouse Project states their mission with crystal-clear clarity on their website:

The Issue: Seniors And Persons with Disabilities Need Alternatives to Costly Institutional Settings

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are forced out of their homes each year due to an inadequate supply of high quality, affordable housing with services. Those who choose not to leave forgo needed services or rely on family members who struggle to meet their needs. Many are even placed in a nursing home unnecessarily. As America’s senior and disabled populations continue to rapidly increase, it is crucial to create more affordable, less restrictive alternatives to nursing home care.

It's worth reading more at their website, especially about the company behind it, NCB Capital Impact:

NCB Capital Impact serves as a bridge between those programs, offering states, federal agencies and providers assistance with:

  • Medicaid policy and programs
  • Real estate development
  • Regulations and licensing
  • Project financing
  • Housing finance policy
  • Policy research.
