Allie Card

Allie’s greatest passion is to advocate for people experiencing homelessness by creating equitable approaches that lead to permanent housing. During her senior year at Hope College (Holland, MI), Allie had her first opportunity to walk along-side households experiencing homelessness at a shelter in Chicago. She was immediately drawn to the resiliency and inspiring stories of the women she met. After graduating with her Bachelor of Science in Social Work in 2012, she attended Western Theological Seminary (Holland, MI) to pursue a dual Master of Divinity and Master of Social Work at the University of Denver (Denver, CO). During both programs, Allie again had the great privilege to build relationships with those experiencing homelessness. After graduate school, in 2016, Allie was promoted to the Executive Director at Family Promise of Greater Denver. There, she led a passionate staff in providing shelter and a spectrum of supportive services to families experiencing homelessness throughout the Denver area. Allie moved to North Carolina with her newborn daughter and husband in the Summer of 2020. She joined NCCEH as a Project Specialist in May of 2021. She enjoys working with community partners as we aim to end homelessness across North Carolina.
