LINC, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Wilmington, North Carolina, operating in the field of Individual and Family Services. It provides transitional living and case management to address the immediate needs of men and women returning from prison, and it runs L.I.T.E. Manhood, a youth development program for African American youths aged 16 to 24. Since it began service in 2000, it has helped roughly 2,300 adults and 490 youth. The program emphasizes a structured living environment along with supports designed to enhance employability through education, vocational training, and work experience. Its model combines transitional housing with a stable employment pathway, an approach associated with reduced recidivism and lower housing costs for the state—for example, housing a resident in its facility is cited at about $5,000 per year versus $27,572 for housing an inmate (based on 2012 data). The organization provides counseling, work experience, training, and case management while closely screening participants to promote community safety and well-being. It supports educational progression, including GED attainment and post-secondary opportunities, to expand employment prospects. In May 2026, Frankie Roberts of LINC, Inc. received a Trailblazer Leadership Award at the YWCA Salome Taylor Luncheon.
