Over the past 10 years, A Lotta Love has transformed homeless shelters and crisis centers across central North Carolina, bringing dignity, comfort, and hope to those in need.

Since 2015, we’ve served 25 shelters and over 1,000 families, redesigned more than 565 shelter bedrooms, renovated 126 shared spaces—including kitchens, living rooms, lobbies, and offices—and led 13 major outdoor and garden revitalization projects. We have also made 13 full shelter renovations. Each year, we bring in over 300 volunteers to help us do good—and feel good!

 

Our impact is backed by research. A two-year study published in Psychological Services found that our trauma-informed design model led to a 12% increase in hopefulness, a 26% increase in feeling prepared, and a 63% increase in feelings of safety. Most powerfully, 96% of participants felt more respected and dignified because of our work.

 

Because when people feel safe and valued, they can begin to rebuild their lives.
