Are you or someone you know experiencing homelessness? Our partners at GSO Homes, in collaboration with the City of Greensboro, offer support at the Cultural Arts Center on Mondays until June 1 and then it will be managed by HOPE Center staff, HOPE Center staff are available at the HP Library every Tuesday.

The City's Community Safety Department (CSD) is prepared to launch the Housing First Plus project—a transformative initiative designed to move our most vulnerable neighbors from the street into permanent, stable housing.
