THE GREEN HOUSE® Project Team and NCB Capital Impact have embarked on a new phase in the growth and development of The Green House Project, a radically new and innovative approach to long-term, skilled nursing care. Read our mission and vision statements.

With grant funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), NCB Capital Impact is pursuing the rapid replication of The Green House model on a national level, offering technical assistance and pre-development loans (PDLs) to organizations that want to establish a partnership with The Green House Project.  Over the next five years, under the leadership of Robert Jenkens, NCB Capital Impact plans to develop Green House homes with 50 or more organizations throughout the country.

Organizations interested in becoming a registered Green House Project must apply following the steps outlined on our Information & Workshops web page.

Project goals include:

  • Recruit a total of 50 projects to implement The Green House model
  • Establish training sites across the country
  • Create a host of technical assistance tools to assist adopters
  • Provide pre-development loans (up to $125,000) to qualified organizations accepted into The Green House Project

What is a Green House® home?

Green House® homes are residences for 6 to 10 elders who require skilled nursing care and want to live a rich life.  They are a radical departure from traditional skilled nursing homes and assisted living facilities, altering size, design, and organization to create a warm community.  Their innovative architecture and services offer privacy, autonomy, support, enjoyment and a place to call home. Green House® homes are developed and operated by long-term care organizations in partnership with The Green House Project and NCB Capital Impact.  Learn more about The Green House concept
