Greensboro Interactive Resource Center's photostream

Our Mission

The Interactive Resource Center assists people who are homeless, recently homeless or facing homelessness reconnect with their own lives and with the community at large.

What we do:
– Social work interns from A&T and UNCG work one-on-one four days a week to help guests connect with services and remove barriers to their self-sufficiency.

– A nurse is available three mornings a week for blood pressure screenings, blood sugar testing, counseling and referrals to other health care resources.

– A bag lunch, provided by community churches and organizations, is served daily.

– Shower and laundry are available daily on a first-come first-served basis.

– After an intake and assessment, guests can receive referrals to local agencies for food, clothing, furniture and financial assistance.

– Volunteers in the computer lab can help with basic computer skills, resume writing and online applications. In a typical week two to four guests find permanent employment through our employment assistance program.
