Homelessness is a pressing issue in North Carolina’s Triangle area, with over 1,000 individuals lacking permanent housing. CASA (Community Alternatives for Supportive Abodes) is dedicated to reducing this number by providing affordable housing solutions to those in need. But we can’t do it alone — we need your help.
Here are several impactful ways to support CASA’s mission in Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Durham, NC.
Volunteer With Us
If you’re looking for volunteer opportunities near Durham, NC, or the rest of the Triangle area, we have options here at CASA. We have tasks we could use help with here in the office, like mailing parking passes, creating welcome home baskets, and assembling birthday cake kits. If you have more time, we could also use help facilitating unit inspections and property clean-ups.
Donate to CASA
One of the most straightforward ways to support CASA (or any other Raleigh nonprofit) is through financial contributions. Your donations help fund critical programs and services that help the Triangle area’s population in need.
How to Donate:
- Online: Visit CASA’s website and make a secure donation through our online portal.

Every dollar counts and goes a long way in supporting CASA’s efforts to provide stable housing and support services.
