Native American Connections (NAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1972 that provides shelter, affordable housing, and culturally competent healing services in the Greater Phoenix area. Operating 26 sites and serving approximately 10,000 individuals and families annually, NAC addresses homelessness, addiction, and wellness with a focus on Native American communities. The organization offers addiction treatment (outpatient and residential for substance use and co-occurring disorders), comprehensive healthcare services, mental health support (screenings, evaluations, and referrals), and over 1,000 units of income-based and affordable housing plus emergency shelter services.
