The North Carolina Housing Coalition just released their 2019 County Profiles and you can view Wake County's profile here. It's a valuable snapshot of the gap between the rental market and renter's wages. The average rent in #WakeCounty is currently $1,026/month while the average renter can only afford $856/month. Take a look and see how this could be affecting you, your family and our community. We appreciate our friends @NCHousing for their analysis and reporting of this important housing data. #affordablehousing #WakeCounty

Come celebrate the store Grand Opening @Crabtree of our newest partner @tuftandneedle tomorrow!

To support Families Together,@tuftandneedle will donate $100 for every mattress purchased during the Grand Opening this Saturday 2/9 from 10 am - 9 pm. Hope to see you there! #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
Last week was orientation time for our newest Board members and the entire staff team got to meet them and share a little about their work. We're thrilled to have Marcella Cox, Doug Strom and Gwen Jackson on board in their new leadership roles with Families Together. Thank you to all three for joining us as we grow our programs to move more families from homelessness to home. #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
Attention job seekers! We will be hosting a job fair March 14, 2019 at Hillcrest Baptist Church. There will be some wonderful local organizations and employers looking to provide resources to people in the community. If you are looking for your next step meet us there or pass this along to anyone you know looking for employment opportunities. Any other questions can be directed to Tasheika Fulmore at tasheika@familiestogethernc.org. #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
We've made it a tradition to provide Welcome Baskets full of cleaning supplies and toiletries to families in our program when they take the critical step of signing a lease after a period of homelessness. The cost of these supplies add up so the baskets are an important part of setting families up for success. Welcome Baskets wouldn't be possible without generous donations from many individuals and groups in our community throughout the year. Last week we received donated supplies from the good folks @ncnurses. Thank you so much for contribution and to Karen for delivering them. These supplies will help families turn their new residences into homes! #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
Burrr! It's been really cold lately, that's why these blankets from @ActivateGood will come in handy for the families we serve! We appreciate the support that @activategood continuously gives us and we thank them for everything they do for us! #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty
Exciting News: Tuft & Needle has chosen Families Together as their non-profit partner in Raleigh and will hold the Grand Opening of their first store in the area this Saturday at Crabtree Valley Mall! Founded in Arizona, they have been providing people with great mattresses that won't break the bank since 2012. Even before officially opening in our community, T&N started donating mattresses to families as we helped them move out of homelessness. If you've ever bought a mattress then you know what a big deal that is! To support Families Together even further, Tuft & Needle will donate $100 for every mattress purchased during the Grand Opening this Saturday 2/9 from 10 am - 9 pm. We'll be there the first half of the day welcoming folks and talking about our mission. Come shop if you're in the market for a quality, affordable mattress or just stop by and say hi! #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
When a permanent home is not immediately available, we provide emergency relief in our Short-Term Family Housing for children and their families who might otherwise be forced to separate without our help. We want the family unit to continue as close to normal as possible while they transition out of homelessness. #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
There is still space available for our employment and resource fair on March 14, 2019. We are excited to bring together people in our program and others in the community that are struggling to makes ends meet with great employment resource organizations and potential employers. Please reach out to Tasheika Fulmore at tasheika@familiestogethernc.org if you want to take part! #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
One of our goals for 2019 is to grow our capacity by giving our staff the tools they need to be even more effective in responding to the needs of families affected by homelessness. As part the generous capacity building grant from the John Rex Endowment we purchased 6 new Chromebooks. These sleek and fast machines will allow our Mentor Advocates to collect and enter data and notes right there in the field or on home visits to provide the best possible service for people in our program. Thank you so much John Rex Endowment for your support of our mission to move families from homelessness to home! #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
Our Corporate Partners are so awesome! We are sending a BIG shoutout to The CarMax Foundation for jumping into the fight against childhood homelessness in our community through a renewed grant supporting our children's programming. Thank you so much for the your amazing support! #NoChildWithoutAHome #WakeCounty #Homelessness
