Finding Home Affordable Housing Series

Finding Home

For two years, WFAE has reported on the Charlotte area's affordable housing crisis through our Finding Home series. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, since 1990, home values have increased 36%, while median household income has gone up only 4%. The appearance of prosperity with new development masks the fact that people are being priced out of their neighborhoods.
Uptown Charlotte is seen Sept. 20, 2019, from Suttle Avenue.
Are you struggling to find affordable housing or are you at risk of being homeless? Here are some resources, including several that have been detailed in the Finding Home series.
