Nome Community Center

Nome Community Center has served elders, families, and youth in Nome and the Bering Straits Region since 1910. Its programs are designed to address community needs through elder, youth, family, and wellness services.

The center’s housing work includes permanent supportive housing, case management, and assistance aimed at preventing homelessness when families face housing-related financial crises. It also supports community efforts to address local housing challenges. Learn more through the Nome Community Center housing and homeless prevention page.

Nome Community Center also operates a food bank offering fresh, frozen, and canned food assistance, while the Nome Emergency Shelter Team provides a warm, safe place to sleep for people experiencing homelessness. Readers seeking additional homeless assistance in Alaska or federal assistance resources can review NHREA’s guides. Visit the official website to confirm current program details.
