2022 Policy Priorities: What We’re Advocating for this Year

2022 Policy Priorities

At Habitat Wake, we have an ambitious mission to create a world in which everybody has an affordable place to live. This goal becomes increasingly difficult as the cost of housing skyrockets in Wake and Johnston counties and beyond.

The need for housing in our community is great; 1 in every 4 households lack affordable housing and we have a net loss of 900 affordable units every year.

Restitution and Community Service

The restitution and community service (rcs) program allows court-involved youth to perform supervised community service hours and/or earn restitution to benefit victims..

Youth participating in the RCS program can be court ordered or required as a component of a diversion or deferral agreement to either pay or earn restitution owed to their victims, do a specific amount of community service hours, or both. Youth report to the Haven House Services administrative offices on Saturdays and are assigned to a work group to perform their hours at nonprofit organizations throughout Wake County. Team Leaders monitor youth and work side by side providing support and teaching work skills. When the group assignment does not work for youth and their families, the program will try to locate individual placements in the community. Youth have the opportunity to learn important lessons about responsibility and accountability.

Common worksites for youth and team leaders include the Food Bank of NC, Interfaith Food Shuttle’s Mobile Market, Wake County and the City of Raleigh Park Systems, Neighborhood Thrift Stores, Oak City Outreach, and a number of therapeutic horse farms such as Hope Reins, Horse and Buddy and Corral. Youth have the opportunity to learn about local resources and partner with other volunteer groups benefiting the community.

RCS accepts referrals and coordinates supervised community service opportunities for youth ages 10-19, as ordered by Juvenile Court, Alliance’s Wake Teen Diversion Program and Teen Court. Hours for the Saturday Work groups are 8:30 am – 3:00 pm.

No fee for service; families do need to provide transportation to our Bullard Court Office both for drop off and pick up.

Program Documentation:

  • Clients Rights Brochure

Raleigh Rescue Mission

  • Recurring Needs

Volunteers are an important partner in ministering to our clients who are experiencing homelessness! Each year, God blesses us with hundreds of compassionate people who wish to serve. Please read below to learn about the volunteer opportunities currently available.

All NEW volunteers must complete the form here . Once you complete the volunteer form, look for an email response telling you the next steps. Be sure to check your junk/spam folder as well as your inbox. We hope you will find a great sense of satisfaction in partnering with Raleigh Rescue Mission. Email questions to  Volunteer or call (984) 272-2001.

If you are already trained and registered as a volunteer, please visit our volunteer portal to sign up for a volunteer shift.

Complete our volunteer application form linked here and posted to our volunteer page and select a date and time you are available to attend a volunteer orientation and training.

All volunteers who will volunteer individually are required to attend a volunteer orientation and training. Groups who want to volunteer can send 1-2 representatives to a volunteer orientation and training. Those representatives are expected to share the training information with the rest of the group.

Yes, we allow groups of up to 10 volunteers for projects planned in advance. A lead contact for the group will need to attend a volunteer orientation and training prior to the volunteer event and will need to coordinate logistics of the event with Carla Tuttle via email or phone: [email protected] , 984-272-2001.

The minimum age to volunteer onsite is 16 years old. We have offsite volunteer options for individuals who are under age 16 listed at the bottom of this page.

Unfortunately, we do not offer community service hours. You can check with other local organizations for court-mandated hours.

Jobs for Life mentors will need to attend an additional training before being paired with one of our clients. Mentorships last four weeks and require twice-weekly meetings between mentors and mentees. If the mentorship goes well, mentors are encouraged to continue the relationship with the client. With an increased commitment comes an increased impact for the client.

Children’s ministry volunteers will need to complete a background check as well as an interview. You can contact Carla Tuttle at [email protected] to initiate the background check process. Once we receive a clear background report, we will reach out to you to schedule an interview.

  • We recommend that all staff, clients, and volunteers be up to date on all vaccines and booster shots for COVID-19 as well as flu.
  • All visitors to the Mission must wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water upon check-in.
  • Staff, clients, and volunteers have the option of wearing masks while onsite.
  • We recommend that staff, clients, and volunteers frequently wash and/or sanitize their hands while onsite.

You will not be allowed to enter the building if you are wearing the following: clothing with alcohol, narcotic, violent, sexual themes; racially or culturally insensitive messages or offensive language; a shirt that is low-cut, cropped, backless, has narrow straps (e.g., tank top), is a racerback, or is made with transparent or mesh fabric; shorts; or a skirt/dress that has a high slit or hangs more than two inches above the knee.

Raleigh Rescue Mission is located at 314 E. Hargett Street in downtown Raleigh, between Person and Bloodworth Streets. Volunteers may park in any of the four spaces on the side of the Mission’s building, outside the gate. It is on a first-come, first-served basis. There is two-hour parking on the street on our block, longer-term parking two blocks east, or paid parking in the city parking deck on Blount Street near Marbles Museum and the City Market lot at 230 E. Martin Street. Groups might want to carpool to the Mission when possible. Volunteers parking on the street should pay attention to the street signs and follow the designated guidelines.

Please check in at the front desk when you arrive for your shift. Sign in on the visitor sheet, and wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly. A key staff member will meet you in the lobby and get you started on your shift.

Please notify Carla Tuttle via phone or text at 984-272-2001 as soon as you realize you cannot be present for your shift. We plan activities and projects based on volunteers who have signed up to help. When a volunteer has an emergency and needs to cancel, we have to adjust quickly.

Please do not show up to volunteer without first scheduling a shift. We have a full schedule of responsibilities and events every day and need to plan for volunteers in advance.

AnimalKind is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Raleigh, NC. Our mission is to end the unnecessary euthanasia of adoptable cats and dogs in North Carolina Shelters.

Our organization and programs grew out of a national need to address the overpopulation of adoptable cats and dogs in our shelters. Currently millions of sheltered animals are euthanized in the US on a yearly basis, just to make room for more, and thousands of those occur in North Carolina.

Community Service

Today’s post covers some of the details of community service as a criminal punishment in North Carolina.

The state constitution lists community service as an authorized punishment in North Carolina. N.C. Const. Art XI, sec. 1. It is, generally, work performed for the benefit of the local community, without pay, as a condition of probation. Don’t confuse community service with “community punishment” under Structured Sentencing. Not every community punishment (G.S. 15A-1340.11(2)) includes community service, and community service is permissible as part of an intermediate punishment (G.S. 15A-1340.11(6)) or a sentence imposed under G.S. 20-179, too.

North Carolina’s community service program is described in G.S. 143B-708 . The program falls administratively under the Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice of the Department of Public Safety, and covers all defendants ordered to perform community service as part of a sentence to supervised or unsupervised probation. The program is managed locally by DACJJ employees called judicial services coordinators.

The program provides appropriate work site placement for defendants sentenced to perform service hours. Recipient agencies vary from district to district, but they typically include things like roadside trash pickup; work at local nonprofits like food pantries and animal shelters; work for religious organizations (so long as the work benefits the community as a whole and does not advance a particular religion); and work in and around government buildings. Program policy (p. 423) prohibits a defendant from, among other things, making donations in lieu of performing service hours, performing hours at his or her place of employment or residence, performing hours under the supervision of a family member, or performing hours in a Community Corrections office without direct staff supervision.

Defendants are required to pay a $250 fee to participate in the community service program, and, with some exceptions, they are required to pay it before their service may begin. G.S. 143B-708(c). I get asked about the fee a lot—specifically, whether it can be waived or otherwise forgiven. I wrote about that here , but let me save you a click: no statute specifically expressly allows the fee to be forgiven, and no statute expressly prohibits a judge from forgiving it. My informal, anecdotal survey suggests that the fee is forgiven as much as half of the time in some districts.

Many statutes require a defendant to complete a certain number of community service hours as punishment for a particular offense. E.g. , G.S. 14-399(c) (8–24 hours of community service for noncommercial litter under 15 pounds, with the additional requirement that the specific service be to pick up litter if feasible); G.S. 14-127.1 (24 hours of community service for graffiti vandalism). In the absence of a specific statute the number of hours is in the discretion of the court. I have heard of some cases involving an extremely high numbers of hours—sometimes motivated by a local rule of thumb that requires, for example, an hour of community service for every dollar of unpaid monetary obligations. Judges may wish to talk with local probation officers and judicial services coordinators to get their sense of whether there is a tipping point at which completing additional service hours becomes counterproductive, impractical, or impossible.

The impaired driving law requires an escalating number of community service hours for probationary sentences as you climb into the more serious levels of punishment. G.S. 20-179 (24 hours of service for Level Five, 48 hours for Level Four, and so forth). Until 2009, former G.S. 20-179(n) required the hours to be completed within a particular timeframe—72 hours or more within 90 days, 48 hours within 60 days, and 24 hours within 30 days. The shoplifting law included similar requirements. In an effort to give Community Corrections and the courts more flexibility in scheduling service hours, those laws were repealed in 2009. S.L. 2009-372 . Still, probation officers tell me that judges frequently include completion times in their judgments ordering community service hours. There’s nothing legally wrong with setting a deadline, but if judges are doing it out of a sense that it’s required—well, it’s not. If they are doing it to be helpful, again, it may be worth a conversation between the local probation staff and the judges to weigh the pros and cons of a timeline set by the court.

When a defendant has committed a “significant violation” of the terms of probation related to community service, community service staff shall report the violation to the court in which community service was ordered. They must give the defendant notice, either by personal delivery or by U.S. Mail, of a hearing to determine if the violation was willful. If mailed, the notice must be mailed at least 10 days prior to any hearing. If the court determines that there was a willful failure to comply, then it must, in addition to whatever response may be appropriate as a violation of probation, revoke the person’s drivers license until the community service requirement has been met. G.S. 143B-708(e).

10 thoughts on “Community Service”

How many of those districts are “waiving” the $250 fee, as opposed to just letting the person do the Community Service at a non-profit of their choice and provide proof on letterhead as opposed to going through the formal community service program? My experience is that tends to be the preferred alternative to avoid the fee.

The total “waiver” figure would be higher if you counted that type of informal service. My survey only included people actually in the formal program.

Punishment is PUNISHMENT, in my opinion, and should be meted out appropriately. The idea is to pay a debt to society for the offense committed and it should “sting” a little, because that’s what “punishment” is, in addition to reform. I realize that not all households have the means in which to make amends, particularly in the cases involving juveniles, but maybe this would be a lesson learned for families to be more involved in the child’s constructive life AND in order to possibly prevent future infractions.

Why should a defendant who, say, was caught with a smidgen of personal use cannabis be indebted to ” society” when no member of society was impacted by the ” offense”? if the crime was one in which the public at large was placed in danger, such as drunk driving , I could understand that to a degree, but victimless offenses should not cause a “sting” to the defendant, who is literally a victim of political skullduggery . Political crimes such as gambling and petty drug offenses should not be punished at all and only the dishonest and craven legislators vying for far right wing votes perpetuate the problems. Community service is a form of shaming, like being in the stocks in a public square, and at worst free slave labor for the beneficiaries.Paying the outrageous court costs and fees in punishment enough. I would rather spend a few days in jail rather than a month of labor taking the place of a paid employee. If defendants were to find a sympathetic doctor who was convinced that public shaming and involuntary servitude might very well cause psychological damage or that a pre-existing physical condition, such as a bad back , eliminated them from having to serve such a sentence. Our system in many ways is still in the dark ages and I think either fines of jail or both is enough to satisfy the ” debt ” one somehow owes society at large.

That’s crazy having to pay to do community service so basically you pay them to work for free and get treated like garbage even if you’re there for a offence that’s not even that bad and if you don’t do it well then your in more trouble the system is seriously rigged to make you fail and pull you in deeper and deeper it’s not right at all and it’s all to fatten their pockets

I’m out of state, in Michigan. Will the court in Forsyth County accept out-of-state service?

Looks like my post didn’t get added, so here I go again. I was ordered to complete 24 hrs of CS, and I did up here in MI. Will the NC courts accept the letter of completion from the 501(c)(3) or do I need to complete it thru the Community Service Program? I live in MI, not NC and I did when I took the plea. Michigan is NOT a member state of the Driver’s License Compact so the NC CSP doesn’t have a sister agency to coordinate with.

I need to do my 72 hour community service by i am looking for somethng proffesional that with furthering my experience in IT and Risk Management and Insurance. That’s what my B.S .from college is in. Please, kindly advise.

I am trying to find out how the available community services recipients are chosen. Do places like Goodwill have to pay in order to be on the list?

If I am to serve 48 hours of CS could I take jail time instead of service?

Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County

Court-Ordered Community Service Hours

Policy on serving court-ordered community service hours.

Since its beginning in 1985, Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County (“Habitat”) has partnered with the Court system and Probation Department to provide individuals who have been sentenced to community service hours as a place to perform community service.

As a rule those charged with or convicted of serious offenses (breaking and entering) will not be allowed to perform community service hours with Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County.
