St. Peter's Condos

Charlotte trash proposal has condo owners in the dumps The city of Charlotte is considering eliminating garbage collection for more than 135,000 condominiums, townhomes and apartments, a change that would save $3.4 million, officials said.

Wonderful news: our education and fundraising campaign for Housing First Charlotte-Mecklenburg raised $13,346!

We thank you very much for all of your support throughout the campaign. This donation will help provide desperately needed housing and resources to many of our chronically homeless neighbors and will serve as a model to challenge other neighborhoods and community groups to engage with Housing First. THANK YOU for your generosity and taking part in improving the lives of those less fortunate around us.
