Supporting People in Need (SPIN)
Updated December 23, 2021
S.P.I.N, Supporting People In Need, is a non-profit program in Silver City NM, that began in Feb. 2017. This program is working towards providing permanent supportive housing for the homeless who suffer from disabilities, a concept that has been shown to be successful in many other communities.
Supportive Housing is an evidence-based practice which uses Housing First, Trauma informed design and services, and Harm Reduction models.
In addition to the creation of permanent supportive housing units, we also provide transitional housing to qualified clients. housing people with housing needs is the essence of why we were created.
Supportive care involves social workers who help clients access the resources they are already eligible for but have barriers that prevent access. Barriers often include: lack of an address or transportation, mental illness, addiction, other heath impairments, cognitive impairment, and poverty.
