Charlotte Family Housing

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

Hawthorne Place — Tammy Medlock, TMedlock@CharlotteFamilyHousing.org, 704-335-5488, ext. 2120
St. John’s Baptist Church will serve as a permanent location where shelter will be provided for up to 6 families. Congregations that do not have facilities available to provide shelter can serve at this location. Volunteers are needed to provide and serve meals as well as stay overnight.

Family Promise – Tammy Medlock, TMedlock@CharlotteFamilyHousing.org, 704-335-5488, ext. 2120
Congregations can join the network of faith communities that provide shelter, meals, and support in their facilities.

Plaza Place—Sarah Herr, SHerr@CharlotteFamilyHousing.org, 704-335-5488, ext. 2133
Shelter will be provided for 15 families at our Plaza Place location at 2410 The Plaza. Groups are needed to organize activities such as craft projects, pizza and movie night, Wii game time, or cookie baking. Volunteers can also assist with tutoring children or providing computer instruction. Landscaping, flower planting, and vegetable garden creation/maintenance are also needed volunteer activities.

Hope Teams— Lisa Howell, LHowell@CharlotteFamilyHousing.org, 704-335-5488, ext. 2118;

For volunteers interested in long-term engagement with a family moving from homelessness to housing, Hope Teams provide that opportunity. Hope Teams are comprised of 4-6 persons generally from the same faith community or organization. Each team is matched with one family to provide support and encouragement by building relationships as guided by the CFH Social Worker and the Hope Team Manager. Volunteers are required to attend a Bridges out of Poverty training session.
