Our Mission and Vision
Partners Ending Homelessness serves as the planning and coordinating organization for homeless service delivery in Guilford County. The Partnership is responsible for actively implementing, evaluating and updating Guilford County's Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness and serves as the lead agency for Guilford County's federally designated Continuum of Care. The organization is a groundbreaking, collaborative partnership that includes over 200 community partners that work to generate housing, strengthen prevention and supportive service efforts, and increase coordination, collaboration and access through the continuum of care in our community.
Partners Ending Homelessness encourages public understanding of the causes and conditions of homelessness and leads a strong and stable system of care for individuals and families to reduce homelessness in Guilford County. The organization fulfills its mission to prevent and end homelessness in the Guilford County area through three core areas of focus:
- CONNECT with individuals and organizations to enhance awareness of and increase access to our system of care.
- SUPPORT the development of an effective service system by functioning as the hub for information sharing and training about issues related to homelessness.
- RESTORE lives in our community by securing and administering major funding with continuous oversight of services and resources.
We believe that through strong partnerships and a coordinated effort on the part of businesses, social service agencies, the faith community and all citizens, Guilford County will be a community that ends homelessness.
