The Carying Place

The Carying Place (919-462-1800) provides a transitional housing program that helps working, homeless families with children attain permanent, self-sustaining housing.

The Carying Place leases apartments in Cary where the families live for the four months they participate in the program. A team of volunteers works with the families every week to help them learn skills including budgeting, goal setting and attainment, time management, job improvement, self-confidence/esteem, and improving their credit situation.

More than 40 Kirk members volunteer with The Carying Place. The Kirk also provides financial support and hosts the weekly Tuesday evening sessions of the program.
