The Raleigh Wake Partnership
to end and prevent homelessness
We believe in the power of collaboration and community to solve the problem of homelessness. Because we envision every partner empowered to foster a healthy, compassionate Wake County where everyone is housed and feels valued, we’re working to spark radical change around the problem of homelessness. We’re invested in our community and acting as a catalyst to increase the effectiveness of community partners through education, data, and advocacy to end homelessness.
Homeless Continuum Care (CoC) remains committed to working with the PARTNERSHIP
Governance Board Statement:
“The Governance Board recognizes the key roles that the PARTNERSHIP plays in supporting the Wake County/NC 507 Continuum of Care (CoC) and remains committed to working with the Partnership in this role. The Governance Board does not have any immediate plans to terminate this agreement or relationship.”
Partnership Response:
We are grateful for the recent acknowledgment by the NC 507 Governance Board that the work of the Raleigh/Wake Partnership to End Homelessness (PARTNERSHIP) is playing a critical role in ending and preventing homelessness in Wake County. We’re honored to continue working in that capacity and look forward to remaining a catalyst in our community.
We know and wholly believe that making progress toward ending and preventing homelessness will take all of us. No single entity can end homelessness. Rather, building an effective system to solve the problem of homelessness can only begin when a community works together. There is power in collaboration! Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the Collaborative Applicant/HMIS Lead in Raleigh/Wake County. We are eager to continue moving forward in 2023.

The Raleigh Wake Partnership is committed to creating and promoting a Coordinated Access System that is a fair and equitable system for everyone entering the system.

Did you know that the definition of homelessness varies?
“Literal homelessness” means living in a shelter or transitional housing facility, fleeing domestic violence; living in an unsheltered location; doubling up with family/friends; and/or living in a hotel/motel.*
Addressing the problem of homeless in its full scope is crucial to ending homelessness in Wake County.
