A welcoming place to find support, resources, and connection

Located at 601 Lovato Place in Taos, the NEST Resource Center connects adults and families experiencing housing instability with practical assistance, supportive services, and community resources, all in one welcoming location.

The Resource Center is designed to meet people where they are. Our staff works alongside each individual or family to understand their circumstances, build on their strengths, and help them navigate the next steps toward greater safety and stability.

What Is the NEST Resource Center?

The NEST Resource Center is a welcoming community hub where adults and families can access services, information, and individualized support.

Rather than requiring people to navigate complicated systems alone, Resource Center staff help guests identify their needs, understand their options, and connect with organizations that can help.

Support is strengths-based, responsive to each person’s circumstances, and grounded in dignity, respect, and connection.
