Proceeds from William Baldwin film
​shared with TEAM WORKZ
​
Picture
No Address is a film released in February 2025 that stars William Baldwin as Robert, a last-chance Californian businessman looking to rid a potential development site of a homeless camp. The film goes on to follow people from the camp who lost their homes for a variety of reasons, all of which closely align with the many reasons for homelessness here in Moore County. Other notable cast members include Isabella Ferreira, Lucas Jade Zumann, and Ashanti.

The film is part of a larger philanthropic movement spearheaded by Robert Craig Films that is “committed to addressing the urgent issue of homelessness”. Fifty percent of the net profits from the film were shared with nearly 1,500 nonprofits, one of which was TEAM WORKZ.

Royalties will be shared annually and are a result of the film’s release in theaters, as well as a streamed documentary titled Americans with No Address, the sale of the novel, a study guide, and the sound track. For more information about the No Address movement, visit noaddressmovie.com/big5. Both the movie and the documentary can be seen on Amazon Prime.

TEAM WORKZ receives grant to help those struggling to survive

Picture
TEAM WORKZ was recently awarded $5,000 through the North Carolina Community Foundation (NCCF), whose mission is to “inspire North Carolinians to make lasting and meaningful contributions to their communities.” Once a grant application is received, NCCF taps into its philanthropic network of organizations that ultimately make the decision to donate to causes they deem worthy on the local level. TEAM WORKZ received the support from the 2025 Moore County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the NCCF.

The money is to be used to support TEAM WORKZ’s Extreme Weather program that pays temporary housing costs for the unsheltered during extreme weather conditions. So far this year TEAM WORKZ has researched, reserved, and provided payment for 85 nights of shelter for a range of individuals, couples, and families with young children.

“This donation will enable TEAM WORKZ to reach more people and provide services they need to move forward,” said Cliff Brown, TEAM WORKZ Founder and President. “TEAM WORKZ is honored to be recognized by this great organization and to receive their generous donation. Donations like this will make a huge impact on our mission and those we serve.”

WHO WE ARE AT TEAM WORKZ ORGANIZATION
We assist local, qualified, individuals (including veterans, families, the unsheltered, the mentally ill, and vulnerable individuals) to find emergency support with limited shelter, food, and basic necessities. Additionally, we offer various other programs to help qualified individuals achieve stable independence by providing access to limited shelter, transportation, job placement, life skill classes, and affiliated programs for clothing, food, and counseling.

Every day hundreds of our neighbors - men, women, and children - are struggling to survive. Many are sick, hungry, and afraid. We provide care with trust, dignity, and privacy.

 Homelessness can stem from a variety of complex factors. Here are some common causes:

Remember, addressing homelessness requires a multifaceted approach that considers both individual circumstances and systemic issues. Compassion, advocacy, and community efforts play crucial roles in combating this societal challenge. 
  1. Lack of Trustworthy Relationships:The absence of strong, reliable relationships can lead to homelessness. Having no family or friends to turn to during tough times leaves a significant void. Trustworthy relationships can provide temporary shelter and guidance, preventing homelessness.
  2. Illness and Disability:Chronic illnesses and disabilities can disrupt employment. Without steady income, affording housing and basic necessities becomes nearly impossible. Medical bills further exacerbate the situation.
  3. Abuse:  Physical or sexual abuse affects many homeless individuals. Survivors escaping their abusers often find themselves with nowhere to go, making the streets their only refuge.
  4. Working, but in Poverty: Some homeless people do have jobs, but they are often low-paying. These wages may not cover housing or food expenses. Evictions and foreclosures can happen suddenly, leaving them without a home.
  5. Unemployment: Job loss, layoffs, and workplace discrimination can thrust anyone into homelessness. The contingent nature of employment means unforeseen misfortunes can disrupt income and lead to eviction.
  6. Housing Affordability:  A lack of affordable housing is a significant factor. Many low-income individuals cannot find housing within their means, pushing them toward homelessness.
  7. Life Events and Strain: Relationship breakdowns, job loss, mental or physical health problems, and substance misuse can strain individuals to the breaking point, resulting in homelessness.

statistics

Twenty-one percent of the homeless people reported have serious mental illness with 16% having substance abuse disorder. 
- SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)
Nearly 13% of the homeless adult population are veterans.
​- National Coalition for Homeless Veterans
A good estimate for the number of homeless in Moore County is approximately 230-300. Of those, 80% are from Moore County with the balance being transient, and 60% of this population suffer from mental illness.
