In Uganda, our campus is located at Kiwumpa Village, Nandere, Luwero, Uganda. In 2012, Father Emmanuel Katongole, Father Cornelius Ssempala, and Father Anthony Rweza began discussing the various problems around their homes in rural Uganda. They were further inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Laudato Si’ which led them to realize that the major problems of deforestation, food insecurity, and poverty in Africa are all interconnected.With this idea, they decided to build BLI on a 95+ acre plot of land in Luwero, Uganda. It would serve as a demonstration of the kind of integral ecology that Pope Francis calls for. Thus, Bethany Land Institute was formed as an educational program to form Ugandans in the practices, lifestyle, and spirituality of sustainable land care, food production, and economic expertise in rural Africa. Caretaker Scholarship FundsEach Caretaker Trainee entering BLI is expected to contribute a small financial portion of the overall cost. We feel that this fosters a sense of ownership and dignity in their commitment to the program. Those trainees for whom this is a hardship may enter into a work-study program at BLI to pay this portion. Or, while at BLI, trainees can market the goods they harvest and put profits toward their tuition. No trainee will be denied admission to BLI due to a lack of funds.These contributions, however, make up only a small portion of what is needed to run the institute for a full class of trainees. Therefore, we created a Scholarship Fund to enable BLI to continue to take in a full cohort of trainees each year. Through the scholarship fund, donors can sponsor a student per term or annually.

Birthchoice has been a free resource for pregnant women in the Triangle area since 1971. They believe every woman deserves to be treated with respect and dignity in a loving, safe environment, and that no choice is truly a choice without complete and truthful information. They offer free and confidential lab-quality pregnancy testing, limited obstetric ultrasounds which can determine the viability, gestational age, and if the pregnancy is in the uterus, and personal consultations with a trained client advocate who will assist in identifying challenges, and provide information/resources as well as personal support. They also provide post-abortion counseling by licensed counselors in ahealing and supportive, non-judgmental, confidential space. They do not provide prenatal care or abortions. They provide clients with information regarding all options, yet through truth, Birthchoice encourages often overwhelmed and scared women to sort out the issues they are facing and begin to address them one at a time. As the clients connect with available community resources, the stress begins to fade and they are able to look forward to life with their baby.

The Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUC) is a walk-in service providing immediate mental/behavioral health support for youth and adolescents in crisis, helping to stabilize and connect them to ongoing care. The BHUC, located at 400 West Ransom Street Fuquay-Varina, is available 24/7/365 for ages 5-20 to be assessed by a clinician. If the clinician determines that a child would benefit from a longer observation period, they can be admitted to the BHUC for just shy of 24 hours. This allows for an extended assessment and stabilization period. The BHUC is an alternative to your local hospital emergency department; a safe, child-friendly environment, to speak with someone regarding mental/behavioral health concerns.MORES (Mobile Outreach Response Engagement and Stabilization) is a rapid-response crisis service for youth and their families. With a call from the parent/caregiver, MORES will arrive in an hour in Wake, Durham, Orange, Johnston and Harnett counties to assess, stabilize and connect the family to resources. The second component of MORES is available to Alliance Medicaid and WellCare Medicaid consumers, where the team remains involved for a set number of weeks to provide care management, advocacy and support while helping the family connect with community-based resources. MORES is available 24/7/365 for ages 3-20. To access the MORES Service: 484-215-6756The MORES Connection Form can be used by anyone to advocate for a child, although always more beneficial to have the parent/caregiver make the call. The completed form can be submitted to [email protected] and will be given to the MORES team to reach out to the family to see if they would be receptive to the service. The process takes longer, up to 48 hours, than if the parent/caregiver initiates.The Facility-Based Crisis (FBC) is a staff-secure facility that provides 24/7 inpatient therapeutic programming. This service provides crisis stabilization and short-term therapeutic care for those experiencing behavioral health emergencies. The FBC service is designed to offer immediate crisis intervention in a safe, child-friendly, therapeutic environment. With the partial opening, the FBC is currently assisting adolescents ages 12-17 with Alliance Health Medicaid. In the near future, the FBC will expand by 10 additional beds, allowing them to serve youth as young as 6 years old, increasing access to critical crisis support for the younger children.

The biggest barrier to solving homelessness in the U.S. is supply and demand. Contrary to what many people believe, the biggest cause of homelessness is not individual risk factors like illness, mental health, poverty, and poor decision-making. The biggest barrier to solving homelessness in the U.S. is, in fact, supply and demand. This is why involving real estate leaders and landlords in the solution is the Lotus gamechanger. By working with real estate developers and landlords, we overcome barriers to existing market-rate housing for people who can’t always meet landlord requirements such as rental histories, background and credit checks and references. Landlords make no financial concessions because Lotus covers landlord risks, and we do it for only $1,200 per sponsored resident. Through philanthropy, we open access to market-rate, mixed-income housing without government funds. We partner with social service partners who determines if a homeless individual or family is good fit for Lotus Campaign. If so, our team finds a potential landlord match within our Landlord Participation Program (LPP). When a landlord match is found, Lotus covers application fees, renter’s insurance, and guarantees against loss of rent. This incentivizes landlords and decreases their risks.

NC Farmworkers Project serves as the resource center, home base, and connection to care for more than 3,000 farmworkers in 12 counties in southeastern North Carolina. We have offices in Benson, NC and Whiteville, NC. The North Carolina Farmworkers’ Project began as a community project to respond to the needs of the farmworker community in Eastern North Carolina in 1992. We began meeting in people’s homes, and eventually acquired half of a trailer in Newton Grove as an office. In 1994, the Farmworkers’ Project was incorporated as a nonprofit. Each agricultural season, we visit farmworkers in their homes to assess their needs, engage in health education, share information and resources, and build community. We have multiple program areas and focus on providing farmworkers with information about health insurance and assistance accessing plans; health education and enabling services to access health care; and leadership development through our promotors program. Our Mobile Clinic that is staffed by UNC providers begins in May and will treat approximately 18 patients per week through mid-October. We are returning to a camp that had a number of people with high blood pressure readings when our outreach team visited them. Those who require ongoing care will be referred to one of our partnering clinics that serve as medical homes for patients with chronic conditions. Benson Health and Campbell University’s Community Care Clinic are our primary partners, but we also refer to other clinics if they are closer, more affordable, or accept the patient’s insurance plan.
We also schedule follow-up visits through our telehealth clinic two nights a week. We are beginning this year to offer alcohol and tobacco cessation counseling via telehealth as well.

A national organization with a chapter in Raleigh-Durham (office location on Glenwood Avenue). SFFC hosts vulnerable children and creates extended family-like supports for families facing a crisis through a community of compassionate volunteers to keep children safe and families together. SFFC Works by hosting and supporting families in crisis. The family in need is called the“placing family”, and the family taking in the child is called the “host family”. Family parents voluntarily place their children with a volunteer host family for a limited time (the average length of stay is six weeks) and they can opt to reunify with their children at any time. The assumption is that the voluntary placement of children by parents and the hosting of voluntarily with no compensation or expectation of adoption builds trust. During the hosting (placement) process, SFFC considers such factors as the location of the child’s school and the existence of siblings, aiming to place siblings together to maintain as much stability and consistency as possible.
