Through a two-year grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the North Carolina Division of Public Health, the North Carolina Housing Coalition (NCHC) has been engaging stakeholders across the state to address the housing needs for people who are impacted by the justice system and those that are at risk of overdose from opioids. We are also highlighting partnerships, collaborations, and interventions, to showcase the work that is happening in North Carolina to improve access to housing, reduce barriers, and demonstrate evidence-based practices that are improving the lives of North Carolinians impacted by the Justice system and those at risk of overdose from opioids. Below are resources we have developed with NCDPH that we hope are informative and beneficial for stakeholders working to address these challenges. Included in the resources are recommendations that we hope communities will consider to improve health outcomes and access to housing across North Carolina.

During the remainder of our project, NCHC will be convening a set of Learning Collaboratives for practitioners, advocates, and community members, to provide education, build cross-sector relationships, and coalesce around shared policy goals.
