Community Link

Astonishingly, forty-six percent of our local workforce in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina region cannot afford safe and decent housing. Being housing-burdened is defined as being forced to spend more than a third of one's income on basic housing needs.

Even those earning moderate incomes and who are successful renters find themselves challenged to buy a home given barriers to saving appropriately for a down payment. Our community also has a significant shortage of available affordable housing as rental and housing prices surge and incomes remain stagnant.

Helping to solve these problems is the driving force behind our Homeless to Housing and Asset Building programs. Our target audience is low- to moderate-income households, including but not limited to single head-of-household mothers, entry- to mid-level wage earners, Veterans, and the elderly.
