Our mission: Passage Home is a faith based, ecumenical, interracial Community Development Corporation to end homelessness, increase affordable housing, enable economic self-sufficiency and promote community development.
This ministry strengthens families to become self-sufficient and neighborhoods to become more supportive in Raleigh and Wake County. Target programs:
- Homeless families seeking to stabilize their lives, whose adult heads of household agree to work.
- Women leaving the prison system who wish to reunite with their children.
- Neighborhood development –restoring housing; community problem solving; economic literacy and social programs.
A New Volunteer Opportunity: Passage Home is sponsoring a new mentoring program called Jobs for Life. They are currently looking for Champions (mentors) for this program. The Champion will be assigned to a student and will be involved in weekly mentoring session. Volunteers will be trained – the next set of classes starts in mid-March. Commitment should be 1 to 5 hours per week in person, by phone, or in class.
