Overview

Mission

Nehemiah House is a non-profit corporation established for the purpose of providing emotional, physical and all-encompassing restoration of men out of jail, suffering with substance abuse or the ill-effects of society in general. The organization operates a homeless shelter located in Baltimore, Maryland and has been in operation since January 1991. Nehemiah House attempts to identify and address the problem that caused homelessness in the resident. To avoid being a "revolving door" type program, the help provided is aimed at giving the willing men the tools necessary to bring an end to their situation. Upon completion of the program, assistance is given to the resident as he is getting established back in society.

What it reported doing in 2011

Operating a shelter and providing services such as G.E.D. classes, career counseling, substance and abuse counseling, etc.
