We remain one of only two emergency shelters in Wake County to allow families to stay together, regardless of the ages and genders of the children and parents, sparing parents the difficult choice between keeping their families together and finding a safe place for their children to sleep. We are the only homelessness nonprofit to offer a continuum of services and partnerships to move families all the way from homelessness to safe, affordable, permanent housing.

We are a small NC based company who has a vision to create a comprehensive online community resource directory to help find the care you need for the ones you love. This includes childcare, eldercare, legal services, and more. We also provide other relevant online information to educate the consumer. I am the Care Consultant for Wake and Johnston Counties. We are beginning the process of identifying marketing partners, exploring advertising, and securing someone who can assist with SEO and other ways to improve our online presence. Please let me know if you or someone you know has experience helping small businesses with this on an affordable level.
