- Are a family unit (at least one adult age 18 or older with at least one dependent).
- Are considered homeless by HUD definition.
- Have a total household income that is less than 80% of AMI (verified by any income received).
- All adults age 18 and older must be employed, working 30 hours or more per week.
- Have been a Mecklenburg County resident for at least 30 days.
- Are free from active substance abuse for at least three months outside of any residential treatment programs.
- Demonstrate motivation to make changes in their lives and are open to partnering closely with a social worker to do so.
- Are willing to provide proof of income earned and money saved while in the program.
- Have no sex offense convictions, felonies within the last three years and/or with pending charges. A criminal background check is run on all adults in household at time of assessment. Decisions regarding criminal backgrounds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
