We serve moms and dads. We serve families.

We serve the invisible, working poor.

We give a hand up not a hand out. We empower.

Affordable Housing, low wages, economic mobility.
These are real issues that affect families.
We don’t just talk. We take action.

Our mission is to empower working families experiencing homelessness to achieve life-long self-sufficiency through shelter, housing, supportive services, and advocacy.

We understand that the RAMP Charlotte email listed Charlotte Family Housing (CFH), along with several other agencies, as potential resources. What the letter did not fully explain is that CFH is not an agency that provides emergency rental assistance.

Charlotte Family Housing works with currently homeless, working families, on a path to self-sufficiency.

We encourage you to click, Need Help?, and view the criteria to apply for our program.

If you feel your family meet the criteria, and you are interested in doing the work that the program requires, we hope that you will apply for one of the limited program slots we have available.

Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Who We Are

Charlotte Family Housing is a shelter-to-housing program for homeless families. But who we are isn’t simply defined by what we do, but rather, how we do it.

How We Serve

While we primarily serve single mothers with children, we are also one of the limited options for single fathers with children and two-parent families.

Who We Serve

Our staff of highly trained social workers and housing coordinators partner with our families to define the path that will ultimately lead them to obtaining and maintaining housing.

How We Empower

CFH’s unique empowerment-driven model is designed to produce healthy, deep, measurable and lasting change with our family participants and volunteers.
