About us
Charlotte Family Housing (CFH)’s mission is to empower working families experiencing homelessness to achieve long-term self-sufficiency through three integrated services: Housing, Trauma-Informed Counseling and Empowerment Tools. Most of our families are employed in service-economy jobs such as bank tellers, call center reps, bus drivers, healthcare workers, and even teachers. They are moms who want to get ahead, but are stuck in a paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. Families partner with a support team of masters-level social workers and housing coordinators. CFH uses empowerment tools like matched savings and workshops that address areas such as financial literacy, career building, parenting skills, self-care and home-ownership. CFH fosters deep relationships with our families--holding them accountable to achieving goals, and rewarding progress long the way. Once a family leaves the program, CFH's goal is that they have a level of income, financial confidence, and a healthy support system that will allow them to maintain stable housing moving forward. CFH is proud that it keeps in touch with families for 2 years after leaving the program. 98% of families surveyed (at a client contact rate of 88%) are still stably housed 2 years later and 52 have purchased homes of their own.

We're so excited about our new partnership with Change Please USA ☕ Through the Change Please program, individuals experiencing homelessness are empowered to get back into the working world. They learn everything needed to find work in the hospitality industry - from roasting and latte art to customer service - and then are introduced to new employment opportunities. Last month, we celebrated the kickoff of the first cohort of CFH participants who will complete the training program & receive the support they need to achieve their unique employment goals! Huge thanks to Brandy Bertram & Ryan McMillan for all you do 👏

We really enjoyed getting to facilitate a trauma resiliency workshop last week for the incredible women involved in the Barings Women's Network. Thank you all for your willingness to learn and for making some of the most beautifully decorated snack bags of all time!
In March, the Barings Women's Network (BWN) organized multiple events to celebrate Women's History Month and International Women's Day. These events aimed to recognize and empower women. One of the events was a women's self-defense class taught by David L. Washco, where I learned some moves that could be useful in protecting myself. The BWN also organized a panel discussion featuring some incredible women from Barings, focusing on the importance of inspiring inclusion. Lastly, the BWN partnered with Charlotte Family Housing (CFH) to organize a trauma resiliency workshop and packed 200 snacks for the children of CFH. I am grateful to work for a company that values and uplifts the voices of women, and empowers us to make a positive impact in the communities where we live and work. Special thanks to Savannah Washco, Jill (Klements) Dinerman, Kelly Burton, Shannon Evans, Elizabeth Warmingham and Maya Packer for sharing your insight and perspective.

We were so excited to welcome Marta Tataje and Tina Bryant Gaither from Truist to tour Plaza Place. Not only was Truist the premier partner for the Canopy Housing Foundation’s Strides for Shelter 5K that benefited us, but they’re also going to offering financial literacy workshops for families!
