Charlotte Family Housing

Through the generous support of the community, Charlotte Family Housing (CFH) is able to provide supportive shelter and housing for homeless families.

How your monetary gift helps support families:
• $50 provides a parent one month of transportation to work
• $125 provides one week of financial assistance for child care
• $250 provides a family one month of support with a Masters-level social worker
• $400 supports one parent in a ten-week “Getting Ahead” workshop
• $700 provides a computer to help advance the education needs of the children and parents
• $3,000 provides a family one year of support with a Masters-level social worker

In-kind support:
• Welcome baskets are given to families as they come in to the shelter.  Baskets contain items such as twin/full sheets, towels, washcloths, toiletries, pots & pans and other kitchen items.
• Graduation baskets are given to the families as they move out of the shelter into affordable housing. Baskets contain items such as a mop, dust pan, broom and other cleaning supplies.
• Other items that can be collected and distributed to the residents include small appliances (toaster ovens, coffeemakers, microwaves), dishes, glassware, silverware, storage containers, and vacuum cleaners.

Volunteer Opportunities:
Whether you give an hour preparing a meal, tutoring a child, planting flowers, or making a long-term commitment to walk alongside a family on a Hope Team, your time is greatly appreciated and makes a difference in the lives of the families we support.  Opportunities to support CFH are plentiful.
