The Community Safety Department’s Homeless Services team works to support individuals experiencing homelessness through compassionate, coordinated, and community-based approaches. Our services include outreach, crisis intervention, referrals to shelter and housing resources, and partnerships with local organizations to connect individuals to support. We are committed to enhancing public safety while ensuring dignity, respect, and support for our unhoused neighbors.

People may experience homelessness for a variety of reasons. That's why nonprofit agencies, governments, and concerned individuals work together as community partners in Guilford County to reduce or eliminate homelessness.
