Action Teams
Partners Ending Homelessness draws on the expertise of local community members to achieve the needs of multiple action teams critical to success of our work. If you are interested in learning more about one of the below action teams, please contact Jacqueline McCracken at 336.553.2715, ext. 101. These teams are working toward strengthening Guilford County's continuum of care and are essential to the actualization of our vision that Guilford County will be a community that ends homelessness. We encourage the participation of members of the faith community, business community, civic groups and the public to work together for change in our community.
