Homeward Bound of Western North Carolina

Homeward Bound of Western North Carolina is an Asheville nonprofit working to prevent and end homelessness in Buncombe County. Its programs include homeless services, Permanent Supportive Housing, Rapid Rehousing, and homelessness prevention.

Through Permanent Supportive Housing, Homeward Bound pairs stable homes with individualized supportive services for highly vulnerable people who have experienced chronic homelessness and may face complex long-term health needs. Its approach includes scattered-site housing and long-term residences, while outreach and coordinated entry help connect people with housing navigation, benefits assistance, case management, and community resources. The Asheville Homeless Outreach Project for Empowerment also provides basic amenities, case management, and access to housing resources.
