North Beach Citizens (NBC) is a non-profit organization that utilizes the talents of the North Beach community to innovatively address the needs of its homeless and low-income citizens in an atmosphere of trust, integrity, and respect. NBC registers homeless and low-income citizens from the North Beach community. After a trial period, NBC accepts as clients those homeless citizens from North Beach who have shown the capacity to reclaim their lives and contribute to the NBC community. Although NBC does not in-take everyone who walks through its doors, it does work hard to provide useful resources to all individuals in need. Once a homeless or low-income person becomes a client of NBC, he or she is provided with a mailing address, a voice mailbox, two daily meals, clothing, a library, resource books, advocacy, and a supportive community of his or her peers.
