Our
Mission
To provide quality, affordable, clean and sober
housing and services to special needs populations in the Yakima Valley.
Our Communities
Next Step is celebrating over ten years of housing special needs individuals
and families in Eastern Washington. Next Step is the only non-profit housing
provider in the state that combines individuals recovering from substance
abuse and their families with individuals and families living with Developmental
Disabilities. Because both groups experience similar marginalization in
society, this integration of special needs populations has proven successful.
Their parallel needs make them good neighbors. Recently, Next Step Housing
developed the Sommerset Apartments in Yakima Washington and received the
2004 Community of Quality Award from the Northwest Affordable Housing
Management Association winning this regional award in two categories:
Exemplary Family Development and Outstanding Turnaround of a Troubled
Property!
Our Fair Housing
Policy
Next Step Housing does not discriminate on the basis of race; color;
creed; religion; ancestry; national origin; age; sex; marital status;
sexual orientation; parental or familial status; political ideology; possession
or use of a Section 8 certificate; the presence of any sensory, mental,
or physical handicap; or the use of a trained guide or service animal
by a handicapped person or on any other basis prohibited by applicable
law.
Our Zero Tolerance
Policy
All of our housing communities enjoy a zero tolerance of alcohol or
drug use ensured by random, monthly, observed urine-analysis and Breathalyzer
checks. Residents who return to alcohol or drug use are immediately asked
to leave to ensure the safety of our residents in sobriety.
