Is a housing allowance available to nonpaid ministers?

No. It is an exclusion of a portion of a minister’s compensation package from income taxes. No income...no taxes...no housing allowance exclusion.
If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.
Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
