Creating a United Community...
Our primary goal is to create a united and resilient community where everyone belongs and everyone thrives. To achieve this, we mobilize and support a diverse network of people, partners, and resources to co-create opportunities for every person in our community to live free from poverty and injustice. We recognize the many ways inequity, particularly racial inequity, takes form both historically and today and are working to name the structures that uphold injustice and eliminate these barriers to inclusion and equity in our work and in the community.
Last Year in Buncombe County...
In 2020, NC211handled over 155,000 calls since activated by Governor Roy Cooper as the official crisis call line during the threat of COVID-19. Our free 24-hour information and referral service line is a confidential place for people looking for supportive information and resources around housing, food resources, eviction, mental health, heating assistance, and more. The leading caller needs in 2020 were focused in rent payment, electric service payment assistance, and housing.
