North Carolina Housing Officers

NCHO was organized in 1973 by housing professionals in North Carolina in order to promote an exchange of ideas and philosophies among institutions with residence hall programs.

Currently, 57 private and public institutions belong to NCHO, including all 16 campuses of the University of North Carolina.

In 1983, after ten years of service and growth, the membership endorsed the development of a purpose statement.

The purpose of the association of North Carolina Housing Officers shall be to:

• Unite people at public and independent institutions with responsibility for residence life, housing, and related support areas.
• Encourage the sharing of resources, programs, procedures, information, and policies of common interest.
• Cultivate professionalism, high standards, and ethical approaches. Address the needs of staff members in all areas of housing including residence life, operations, and administration.
• Make participation affordable.
• Provide an annual conference, workshop on current issues, a newsletter, and directory of institutional and individual members.
• Serve as a liaison with other state, regional, and national organizations.
• Provide an opportunity for staff members at all levels to contribute and actively participate in the achievement of NCHO goals.
• Support the philosophies of non-discrimination, equal opportunity, and equal access in our workshop and on our campuses.
