King's Ridge Update
King's Ridge Director Erin Yates shares, "As the temperatures start to heat up we are seeing a lot of work happening at King’s Ridge. The sewer pipes are going in and the ground is getting ready to start pouring concrete. It is only up from here!"
"You probably knew that King’s Ridge will have 100 apartments of permanent supportive housing, but did you know that 73 units will be studio units, 22 will have 2-bedrooms and 5 will have 3-bedrooms? This means that we will be ending homelessness for at minimum 136 people! We will be focused on housing people who are currently homeless. We will utilize our community partners and neighbors to ensure the message gets out when the time is right."
"King’s Ridge will focus on housing people who are Chronically Homeless. This definition is used to describe people who have experienced homelessness for at least a year – or repeatedly - while struggling with a disabling condition such as a serious mental illness, substance use disorder, or physical disability. The Raleigh-Wake Continuum of Care reports in 2022 that 1 in 5 people who are homeless in Wake County meet the definition of Chronically Homeless. "

HUGS Camp Needs Staff and Buddy Campers!
July 10-15 | Haw River State Park
HUGS is a unique camp for unique people, bringing together young people of diverse abilities. They overcome barriers of real and imagined differences and build bridges of understanding. HUGS is about acknowledging the good creation in each of us and more fully knowing and loving our God through it. The great differences among campers and staff help all of us learn to appreciate and celebrate our diversity as we recognize our common ground.
Now, HUGS needs help. More than 50 campers have applied, and, in order for camp to happen, HUGS needs buddy campers (formerly helper campers) and staff to sign up for a truly life-changing week. Rising high school freshmen through seniors are eligible to apply as buddy campers, and rising college freshmen and older can apply as staff.
