NUOM is a non-profit corporation, that was established on January 1st, 1975 and was located on Colley Avenue in Norfolk. It originally offered counseling and referral services to "persons of the street" and memebers of the community with no religious affliation and operated primarily in Norfolk. In the fall of 1992 NUOM moved to its current location at 972 Norfolk Square.

Continuing evaluation of NUOM's programs has resulted in a streamlined organization that can move quickly to address special needs.

NUOM has avoided becoming dependent on grants, preferring to maintain a broad base of community support. This has proven to be successful for this organization and has allowed it the flexibilty to adjust to the direct needs of the community.

Additional programs include the following:

• Emergency Needs Clearing House:
  
  Maintains a database of people approaching churches and other agencies for assistance, both to identify potential fraud/abuse and to link needs to appropriate resources.
   
• Emergency Housing Fund:
  
  Makes one-time limited grants to help prevent eviction and provide emergency housing
  
  
• Acute Needs Children's Fund:
  
  Provides discretionary assistance in situations involving children in crisis when others cannot help.
      
• Discretionary Assistance:
  
  With this fund we are able to meet a wide variety of special needs.

Tax deductible contributions to support these programs can be made to NUOM. Mail contributions to: Norfolk Urban Outreach Ministries, 972 Norfolk Square, Norfolk VA 23502.
