Raleigh's 10 year plan to end homelessness
As a follow up to Raleigh City Council and Wake County Commissioner action, the City of Raleigh has formed a partnership with Wake County and the Raleigh Continuum of Care, an organization of local human service agencies to develop a strategic action plan with the goal of eventually eradicating homelessness in Raleigh within the next decade.
With Love From Jesus
Our primary purpose is to proclaim the love of God through Jesus Christ to people around the world and encourage them to respond by loving Jesus in return and then equipping them to live and give with love from Jesus. We watch God reveal Himself and His love to people in the midst of their need. Often we witness firsthand the transforming power of His love!

Cafe 458
Located in the heart of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Historical District, Café 458 is a free restaurant which has been serving homeless persons since 1988. Café patrons are served by a waitperson as in any of Atlanta's fine eating establishments, without the impersonal and often harsh experience of standing in long soup kitchen lines.
Guests are greeted by a host, find fresh flowers on each table, and are offered a menu from which to choose a healthy noontime meal. Café 458 is more about restoring dignity and self-respect within our homeless friends than providing a delicious free meal. A choice from the menu is simply a starting point in the process of empowerment

Interagency Council for Homelessness
The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness is truly a vehicle of out-of-the-box thinking and creative problem-solving.
