WakeWell helps people find help with homelessness, addiction and recovery, and getting back on their feet.
Find shelter, food, addiction treatment, Narcan, mental health help, healthcare, housing, transportation, jobs, legal help and more. Free to use. No account needed.
WakeWell was made for people who are homeless, worried about losing their housing, struggling with drugs or alcohol, looking for addiction treatment, in recovery, coming home after jail or prison, or trying to meet basic needs and get back on their feet.
Anyone can use WakeWell. Family members, friends, outreach workers, peer-support specialists, and caseworkers helping someone are welcome too.
Finding help can be hard when services are spread across many organizations. WakeWell brings them together in one easy-to-use place so people can more quickly find organizations that may be able to help.
WakeWell does not provide emergency, medical, housing, legal, mental health, or substance-use treatment services itself. WakeWell connects people with independent community organizations and service providers.
WakeWell is provided as a free community service. Organizations do not pay to be included or promoted in the WakeWell directory.
WakeWell is created and maintained by Illuminate NC. Created by the Illuminate NC Leadership Team.
Make finding help simpler.
Our goal is to reduce the barriers between someone who needs help and the organizations already working throughout Wake County to provide it.
Easy to find
Search for help based on what you need, not which organization you already know.
Community focused
Connect Wake County residents with organizations and programs serving the community.
Free to use
No payment or membership is required to search WakeWell.
