What will Entry Point Durham do for me?

Entry Point Durham is a trained team that helps people facing homelessness resolve their housing crisis. The Entry Point team will:

• Listen as you share your current situation.
• Ask questions about what housing and services you need.
• Connect you to resources that may help resolve your housing crisis, such as shelter if it’s available, health care services, transportation, and others.

Entry Point Durham is not a housing program and cannot promise shelter or housing. Entry Point will work with you to help resolve your housing crisis and will refer you to shelter or housing programs if they will be helpful and are available.
