NCCEH upholds human dignity by pursuing justice and engaging innovative partnerships to end homelessness in North Carolina.
In order to transition an individual or family out of homelessness, they must have access to affordable housing, appropriate services, and an adequate income. NCCEH works at the local, state, and federal levels to ensure these resources are available and accessible for North Carolinians who are most in need.
We are currently working to end homelessness by:
- Advocating for policy change and adequate funding at the local, state, and federal levels. Building provider capacity through training, education, and technical assistance based on data and results-based best practices.
- Supporting local communities in planning and implementing Ten-Year Plans to End Homelessness.
- Providing and analyzing research and data from the NC Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).
- Assisting caseworkers in obtaining income and health insurance for their clients through our NC SOAR (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery) Initiative.
- Cultivating leaders, champions, and advocates to bring about systems change to prevent homelessness and to improve the current homeless services system for those who do become homeless.
