As the largest non-profit dedicated solely to housing homeless families in Wake County, Families Together has a significant responsibility in addressing the crisis in student homelessness.
Here’s a snapshot of the outcomes last year through effective community collaboration.
Families Together is unique in that we serve families where there is a father or older male child that could otherwise fall through the gaps in our community’s safety net. Our Emergency Shelter, Bridge Housing and other interim housing solutions enable families most likely to be separated, to remain together while permanent housing is obtained.
Additionally, our work is driven by our professional team of Mentor Advocates who are trained in the principles of trauma-informed care and who offer compassionate support to help each family achieve self-sufficiency. As housing experts, Families Together leverages our network of landlords, advocates for families to ensure housing is safe and dignified, and liaises between the landlord and family, as needed, to ensure they are set up for long-term housing success.
