Exploring this area CoC NC-502

Durham (Durham County) is one of the North Carolina markets Mai Heaven is researching. We hold no licence and have no home open here yet — this page is so a case manager, discharge planner, or family can see how placement works locally and refer someone, or join the waiting list for the day we open. Durham is home to Duke University Hospital, Duke Regional Hospital, and the Durham VA Medical Center — a dense concentration of hospital and behavioral-health discharges driving housing referrals.

No home is open in Durham County yet. We are still bringing homes online here. If you need help right now, these are the numbers to call today — and you can put a name on the waiting list below so we reach out the moment a place opens.
