Lives Touched...

In an average month, Brunswick County Homeless Coalition provides direct assistance to about 40 at-risk individuals or families to help keep them from becoming homeless and provides about 7-14 nights of emergency shelter to individuals and families who are homeless. Because Brunswick County has no general permanent emergency shelter, many are housed in motels or referred to shelters out-of-county. Brunswick County Homeless Coalition volunteers work six days a week to answer calls from people in need.

Together we can make a difference.

Here are some things you (or your church, organization, or business) can do to help:

• Volunteer -- Help us to help our clients, administratively, with fundraising, or in your specific area of interest or skill.
• Donate -- Your monthly donation provides a lifeline to individuals and families in crisis, and allows us to continue and expand our work.
• Spread the Word -- Help us to educate and to raise awareness about housing problems that affect people here in our communities.

Crisis Response Resources:

• Crisis Response Resources -- Crisis response agencies in Brunswick County, NC.
• Affordable Housing units in Brunswick County, NC. Housing listed here, if available, may be provided on a sliding scale depending on the client's income to qualified tenants.
• Emergency and Transitional Shelters -- Out-of-area shelters in other counties.
