Exploring this area CoC NC-503 North Carolina Balance of State CoC

Vance County is a high-need, underserved North Carolina market Mai Heaven is researching — the kind of place larger providers overlook rather than a saturated metro. Vance County (Henderson) is a high-poverty county where Maria Parham Health discharges psychiatric patients into a community with few group homes for adults with serious mental illness or I/DD. By the numbers, it has a undefined% poverty rate (2023 Census SAIPE) and is a federally designated Mental Health provider-shortage area (HRSA HPSA), so need well outstrips the few local providers. We hold no licence and 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.

No home is open in Vance 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.
