Ending homelessness is both radical and simple - radical in the sense that Guilford County can END a social problem in our community, yet simple in that it recognizes a home as the beginning point for building our lives.
Guilford County is a service rich community, full of service providers committed to helping end homelessness. Goals of the Partnership include fostering teamwork between providers, enhancing awareness of and access to available services, and the creation of new partnerships through agency collaborations.
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. It will take all of us. Get involved.
Partners Ending Homelessness supports the development of an effective service system by functioning as the hub for information sharing and training about issues related to homelessness. We actively seek to serve as the central resource for real-time community-level data allowing for findings to be shared with appropriate stakeholders, including public and private service providers, funders and policy makers in the region to identify and promote new ways to respond to homelessness.
Guilford County became the 210th community nationwide to commit to develop a Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness. On June 4, 2007, the comprehensive Ten Year Plan, aimed at improving the quality of life for all residents of Guilford County by ending chronic homelessness and reducing all other types of homelessness by 2016, was unveiled to the public.
