Elmhurst Home Inc - Naomi's Nest

Elmhurst Home, Inc. was founded in 1970 by Mr. James and Mrs. Naomi Oden. For many years prior to opening Elmhurst Home, James and Naomi would have different meetings in their home to help encourage those who they called "down on their luck." They saw a growing drug epidemic in the City of Detroit and recognized that something had to be done. Their vision of community was one of people consistently giving back to those in need. This vision and passion birthed Elmhurst Home, a place where those suffering from addictions and criminal behavior could come to experience positive life transformation. Elmhurst Home started with just one contract and a building. It has expanded throughout the years to a regionally supported multi-campus facility.
