What we aim to solve
Reinvestment Partners is addressing the problems of poverty and social injustice in the areas of food, housing, community development, health, and financial services.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Housing Counseling
Reinvestment Partners is a HUD-certified housing counseling agency that offers clients industry experience, an expansive service area, and professional services. With three HUD-certified housing counselors on staff, we have over 20 years of combined experience and reach more than 42 of North Carolina’s 100 counties.
Our housing counselors can help you assess your financial situation, evaluate options if you’re having trouble paying your mortgage, and develop a plan to improve your finances. A counselor offers independent advice, unlike a lender or broker.
Healthy Homes & Lead Safety
You can transform your home into a healthy home for you and your children in a few simple steps. Ensuring a healthy home and testing your children for lead poisoning will benefit your child’s physical and mental health, which can be seriously damaged by lead.
Taxpayer Assistance Center
The NC-TAC is a coalition effort between Reinvestment Partners, Duke Law School, NCCU School of Law, and numerous other Community Organizations, City, County and State Agencies dedicated to assisting NC taxpayers in utilizing available tax services in and around Durham.
Each year the The Greater Durham TAC Coalition prepares and files thousands of returns for free at Volunteer Income Taxpayer Assistance sites in the Greater Durham area. The Greater Durham TAC Coalition makes a major impact on the need for low cost, high quality tax services.
Community Development
What does community development mean to us? It means community members coming together to generate thoughtful solutions to common problems, thereby fostering stronger and more resilient communities.
Whether we’re rehabbing distressed residential and commercial properties or encouraging smaller neighborhood improvements, you’ll find us partnering with local government, small businesses, and the average “Joe” to make Geer Street, Durham and North Carolina places you want to be.
Advocacy & Research
Policy advocacy complements our other work in direct services and real estate development. Since our inception, we have approached advocacy with a belief that research adds value to the dialogue with regulators and financial institutions.
Produce Prescriptions
In North Carolina, 1 in 7 people is food insecure. More troubling, people living with food insecurity also experience higher rates of diet-related chronic illness. To address the double burden of hunger and poor health, healthcare providers are looking for ways to connect their patients with accessible and healthy food. In response, we’ve developed RP Rx as a produce prescription program that works for providers, patients, and retailers. RP Rx is a cost-effective, efficient way for providers to offer healthy food to their patients who need it most.
Hotel to Home
Our Hotel to Home bridge housing program provides a temporary, safe place for persons experiencing homelessness while they apply for permanent housing options.
We specifically target people who are leaving medical care, medically stable (i.e. don't need care to meet
already connected to case management and wrap around services.
