The Novara Group™

Restoration infrastructure for generations still becoming.

We believe housing should never be the finish line. It should be the launch point, for healing, for economic mobility, for personal agency, for legacy. A place where new life begins.
WHY CHOOSE US

Where We Began

The Novara Group was born from a simple, stubborn conviction: a family in crisis deserves more than a bed for the night. They deserve a full runway back to stability, and beyond it, to a life they choose rather than a life they survive.

 

Founder and Chief Directing Officer Kamilah Little built that conviction into an ecosystem rather than a single program, because the families we serve, women leading households alone, survivors rebuilding after violence, young people navigating housing instability, were never facing one problem. They were facing several at once: safety, income, healing, belonging, permanency. A single-purpose shelter could answer one. It would take something built differently to answer all five.

Our Programs

Our Model

We operate as a federation of purpose-built divisions, each one independently capable, all of them working from the same theory of change. Where most organizations offer a single service, we offer a continuum, meeting a family at the edge of instability and walking beside them until they are standing on ground they built themselves.

Permanent Supportive Housing

Long-term housing paired with voluntary support services for individuals with disabilities or chronic homelessness histories.

Rapid Re-Housing

Short-term rental assistance and housing search support to move families out of shelter quickly and sustainably.

Community Development

Acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable housing stock in partnership with local neighborhoods.

Property Management

In-house management ensuring every unit we develop stays safe, well-maintained, and affordable over time.

Supportive Services

Case management, benefits navigation, and healthcare referrals delivered on-site and in the community.

Coordinated Entry

A single access point aligned with regional CoC standards, so no one falls through the cracks.

The Restoration Circle™
Because housing without healing is temporary. Trauma-informed care and wellness work sit at the structural center of everything we do, not on the periphery.

OUR VALUES

What Guides Us

Every family we serve arrives having already survived something. What we build next is theirs to shape.

Housing is a Beginning

Our work starts where placement usually stops.

Healing is structural

We do not separate a roof from a recovery.

Dignity is Non-Negotiable

No resident or client we serve is ever depicted, identified, or exposed through any program, story, or campaign, without exception.

Every Division is a Doorway

Seven distinct organizations mean seven distinct ways for our community, our partners, and our funders to walk in and build with us.
ABOUT US

THE NOVARA GROUP™ exists to build restoration infrastructure for families, communities, and generations still becoming.

At Novara Group, we believe lasting change starts with a safe place to stand. With a dedicated team, a proven housing model, and personalized case management, we walk alongside every individual and family we serve — from their first night of safety to a home that truly holds.

WHY CHOOSE US

A Process Built on Safety

We help individuals and families find safe, stable housing through verified placements, dedicated case managers, a fast and transparent intake process, and support that doesn’t end at move-in.
Verified Safe Housing

Every unit in our network is inspected and verified before placement, so residents move into a space that's genuinely safe — not just available.

Dedicated Case Guidance

Each resident is paired with a case manager who guides them personally through housing, healthcare, and next steps.

Fast, Transparent Placement

From referral to move-in, we keep the process clear and quick, so families spend less time waiting and more time rebuilding.

Ongoing Client Support

Our team stays reachable after placement, checking in and connecting residents to the next phase of care as they stabilize.
