NCCEH upholds human dignity by pursuing justice and engaging innovative partnerships to end homelessness in North Carolina.
A defining feature of North Carolina Coalition to End Homelessness is its role as the local administrator for Continuum of Care funding in the NC Balance of State, where it manages submission timelines, instructions, and project application reviews for housing and homelessness services. The coalition’s recent grantmaking centers on aid to homeless people and the systems that support them, including permanent supportive housing, rapid re-housing, coordinated entry, HMIS, and street outreach. In 2023, its larger awards reached providers across North Carolina, including Homeward Bound of Western NC in Asheville and Trillium Health Resources in Ahoskie. Those grants sit alongside a broader portfolio that also supports Housing for New Hope in Durham, Housing Collaborative in Charlotte, and other local agencies serving people experiencing homelessness. The pattern suggests a funder working through regional and statewide partners rather than a single-site model, with grants tied to the infrastructure and service delivery needed to connect unsheltered individuals and homeless families to housing stabilization.
The coalition funds both service delivery and the systems that organize it. For coordinated entry infrastructure, it made a subgrant through the Supportive Services Only - Coordinated Entry Regional Grant, which supports lead positions, case management and outreach, by-name list maintenance, and HMIS data quality. In homelessness prevention and housing stabilization, the NC DHHS Emergency Solutions Grant submission covers street outreach, emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and HMIS. Its CoC program competition work also supports permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, and coordinated entry across the NC Balance of State. The recent grants list shows this translated into aid to homeless awards for Johnston-Lee-Harnett Community Action in Smithfield and The Reach Center in Rocky Mount.
Typical grant size is $24,253 at the 25th percentile, $51,883 at the median, and $115,210 at the 75th percentile. The 2023 grant list includes awards from $20,253 to $231,561, showing a mix of smaller local awards and larger operating-level support. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off: the 2023 grants align with active local competitions and subgrant programs administered by NCCEH, including CoC and ESG processes. The organization is a public charity, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Several grants are tied to application or review structures that accept unsolicited submissions through the NC Balance of State process.
