NC Local Leadership Response
THE OBJECTIVE
North Carolina Local Leadership Response Teleconferences
Hour-long discussions on third Wednesdays designed to:
1. Provide a regular forum where local agencies–both in and out of state—can exchange best practices for securing housing and services for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness; and
2. Share timely information on public state and national public policies and budget priorities that impact the work of our agencies and our goal of ending homelessness in North Carolina.
