Safety Net | A Division of NextStep Placement Services

Bridging the Gap.
Building Stability.

Structured, non-clinical housing placement and coordination for adults navigating behavioral health challenges — working alongside the providers, hospitals, and teams that serve them.

Safety Net is built on one belief: stable, appropriate housing is not a bonus outcome — it is a prerequisite for recovery and long-term wellbeing. We work alongside hospitals, ACTT teams, and behavioral health providers to reduce discharge delays and place clients into housing that fits their support level.

From Referral to Stable Housing

A clear, four-step process designed to move referrals forward without adding burden to your team.

1

Submit a Referral

Use our shared form to tell us about the client. One form, quick to complete, routes automatically.

2

Review & Match

We assess support level, budget, location, and environment fit to identify the right housing pathway.

3

Coordinate

We communicate with your team, landlords, and partners to move the referral toward a safe placement.

4

Follow Through

We check in at 7 and 30 days post-placement to ensure stability and address any emerging needs early.

Is your client also a veteran? Our sister program, Home Front Veterans Housing, may also apply. Both programs are divisions of NSPS and our team coordinates across both. Submit one referral and flag both needs — we'll handle the routing.
