Our Mission

The mission of Wake County Supportive Housing is:

To ensure that all members of the greater Wake County area are accorded the dignity of safe, affordable housing consistent with the respect all citizens deserve.
To work toward increasing the standard of living for all Wake County residents through prudent and efficient management of available resources.
To collaborate with Wake County agencies, nonprofits and faith-based organizations to maximize affordable housing opportunities throughout the Wake County area.
To cooperate with community residents, businesses and organizations in exemplifying the outstanding quality of life afforded to those who live, work and visit in Wake County, North Carolina.
To reach and inform Wake County residents unaware of available services and to foster an atmosphere of trust and compassion.
To create and build positive public awareness for the solutions being implemented by Wake County and its partners in achieving these goals.

Wake County Human Services promotes a healthy and safe place to live, grow and work. In partnership with communities and other organizations, we enhance the ability of families and individuals to become self-sufficient while ensuring quality care for those unable to achieve self-sufficiency.

Our organizational philosophy is to provide effective service delivery through:

Partnering with neighborhoods and communities to build the capacity of citizens to address their needs and improve their quality of life.
A family-centered focus where appropriate, realizing that the family has a broad definition and that all persons have natural support and/or families of choice.
A prevention focused approach, emphasizing the importance of education and early intervention to reduce the effects of disease, poverty, homelessness and the lack of resources or quality support.
Acknowledging the importance and impact of cultural, linguistic, economic, ethnic, gender and age differences in our population.
An outcome-driven approach looking at personal results achieved, not just specific products or units or numbers.
