Referrals 

​We provide connections to social services, health care, and other agencies where more specialized needs can be met. Many folks on the street are lost finding help.  Accessing services often means navigating a bureaucratic maze and meeting multiple preconditions.​

Community Development

We sit on the Durham Advisory Committee on Homelessness and other local bodies, and work with other community groups to advocate for social justice and poverty reduction.
