Founded by Jameel Bryant in 2013 with funding from private donors and local supporters, Kearah's Place was born as a small group of individuals providing information, referrals, and guidance to women in crisis. 

Kearah's Place programs and services help men and women make permanent life changes. Since our founding in 2013, Kearah's Place has transformed the lives of homeless and low-income, abused, in crisis men and women by providing safe, transitional housing and supportive services to empower every woman and man to become financially independent and self-sufficient, regardless of their circumstances.

Kearah's serves women and men in transition in the community with classes on life skills and job readiness, community referrals, and by providing basic critical needs such as healthcare services, housing, food and clothing.

At Kearah's Place, each year presents new opportunities, new hope, and new beginnings. With your help, our accomplishments will meet our expectations. Here are just a few:

• Raise funds to provide a continuum of care to our clients
• Remain available to those in crisis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• Provide safety planning, crisis intervention and referrals
• Provide transitional housing to men and women 
• Offer spiritual guidance to men and women
• Provide services of group and one-on-one counseling
• Offer Empowerment Sessions 
• Offer outreach services to men and women who do not need residential housing
• Offer advocates to work with clients on a daily basis
• Provide and distribute victim assistance kits and personal care kits to clients and individuals in need

Kearah's Place is dedicated to providing services and resources to men and women in transition in North Carolina by providing wraparound services that promote and restore self-sufficiency.
