Genesis Home works to end homelessness for families with children and young people by providing housing and supportive services to foster independence. Since 1989, the agency has provided a safe, stable place where families can come together, rebuild their lives, and prepare for permanent housing in the community.

Our transitional housing program, Family Matters, helps families with children build their skills and address the unique factors that led to their homelessness. Our Independent Living Program serves homeless youth that have aged out of foster care or who otherwise find themselves homeless. These young adults have nowhere to go in Durham and are typically routed into adult shelters where their special needs often go unfulfilled.

Please take a moment to explore the site and learn more about what we do. With your help, we can end homelessness in Durham, one person at a time.
