Community Support

Community Leadership Support

Corporate Donors The Healing Place enjoys a wide range of support from the community it serves, working as a partnership with community leaders, social service agencies, law enforcement and medical facilities.

The program was established as a result of a study of homelessness in Wake County which uncovered a wide gap in services available to homeless men and women with addictions. Through the efforts of the staff, Board of Directors and others, The Healing Place strives to respond to the need.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors for The Healing Place represents members of the community who are committed to finding answers to the problems of homelessness and addiction.
