WellNest
Building a community where all neighbors feel at home.
Our
Mission
WellNest is a student-led initiative at the Duke University School of Medicine that provides support to newly-housed neighbors in the Durham/Chapel Hill area who have a history of homelessness.
We assist in initial move-in period, furnish the new home, and provide tenancy support for at least one year after move-in.
