For all inquiries regarding available beds, please call the main desk of the Weaver House shelter Monday - Thursday between 8:00 AM and 1:30 PM (336) 553-2665. At that time, we’ll be able to inform you if we have any openings and would potentially invite you in that day for an intake.

- HELP WITH RENT & MORTGAGE

Our Emergency Assistance Program was created to prevent evictions and reduce the risk of homelessness by helping households who are behind on their rent or mortgage due to a crisis. Staff and volunteers in this department meet with applicants to review their financial situation and determine if help can be provided. If approved, checks are made payable to the landlord or mortgage company. An appointment is needed to apply for assistance. To request an appointment please call (336) 553-2657.
OTHER SUPPORT
- CASE MANAGEMENT
-
For some who face the risk of homelessness or food insecurity, they have experienced several challenges in life that have caused their current crisis. Case managers work one on one with individuals or families to overcome the challenges they are facing and move towards stability. Case managers assess the needs of each individual or family and, where appropriate, they arrange for delivery and access to a range of programs and services in our community. Anyone who comes to Greensboro Urban Ministry for services can request to be seen by a case manager for additional help.
- CHAPLAINS
-
If you are going through a tough time in life, it can be very helpful to have someone to talk to. Chaplains and volunteer Stephen Ministers are here to provide one-to-one, Christ-centered care to the individuals and families that come to Greensboro Urban Ministry. This care is only offered if requested and all conversations are entirely confidential. If you would like to have someone listen and pray with you, simply request to meet with someone from the chaplaincy program when you come to Urban Ministry. You can also call the chaplaincy office to find out more. Call (336) 271-5959 ext. 325 or 326.
