NEST is a Connecticut-based nonprofit organization focused on revitalizing neighborhoods and promoting homeownership. Founded in 1980 and originally known as Neighborhood Housing Services of Waterbury, it operates as a HUD-certified 501(c)(3) entity that pursues affordable and comprehensive housing development, financial education, and opportunities for home and community ownership. Serving low- to moderate-income individuals and families, NEST works across Waterbury and more than 20 western Connecticut communities, including Danbury, Naugatuck, and Torrington, to support neighborhood improvement and economic empowerment. The organization emphasizes a broad program mix aimed at community revitalization rather than a single service, positioning itself within the non-profit housing and community development sector. Based in Waterbury, NEST has a long-standing role in the region’s urban renewal efforts, reflecting four decades of activity in housing and neighborhood development.
