In addition to housing we provide a comprehensive suite of services such as financial literacy classes, grooming services, transportation assistance, and job placement support. By addressing the diverse needs of our residents, we empower them to achieve self-sufficiency and improve their overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • While we aim to never turn anyone away from our program, we understand that some applicants may need assistance that we do not offer here at BCNC. In those rare cases, we still aim to support the applicant by ensuring they reach the program best suited for their needs.

  • All applicants must be age 18 to apply. If you are in the foster program or a minor parent, you are still eligible to apply but must reach out to your case manager for application details.

  • At this time, we do DO NOT accept Section 8 vouchers due to the nature of our program. Applicants who have vouchers are still encouraged to apply to the program to learn how we can assist you with securing housing without needing your voucher.
