    L'Arche North Carolina is planning to purchase the Friendship Houses on August 17, continuing their legacy of belonging while blending it with the relationship-centered model of direct care support that defines L'Arche. Together, these homes will continue to be a place where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and Duke Divinity students share everyday life alongside live-in and live-out assistants, creating a community rooted in friendship, purpose, and belonging. Before renovations begin, we'd love to welcome you inside.

How we help

Our stories

Our impact

Friendships and daily life together are at the heart of our model of individual and societal transformation. We aim to change society’s stance towards hose with I/DD from one of charity to one of contribution. Read our impact page for more.
