✨🏘️ Homelessness is Closer Than You Think 🏘️✨ Homelessness isn't just about sleeping on the street.

In Durham, many of our neighbors experiencing homelessness are families, veterans, seniors, young adults, and individuals living in cars, motels, emergency shelters, or temporary housing. Every person has a different story, but many share common challenges such as rising housing costs, unexpected medical bills, job loss, or domestic violence. Durham's coordinated homelessness response tracks both sheltered and unsheltered homelessness to better understand community needs and connect people with housing and services. When we understand the causes, we can respond with compassion instead of assumptions. 🫶🏼🩵 🧡 Every person deserves the opportunity to have a safe place to call home. 🏡💛 #DurhamNC #CommunityFirst #HomelessnessAwareness #SupportOurNeighbors
