Eighteen months ago, this area set an ambitious goal, to rid Mecklenburg County of chronic homelessness by the end of this year. To that end, local officials and others tried to raise the millions of dollars needed to put hundreds of the most vulnerable of the homeless in housing. Charlotte’s homeless population is shrinking and advocates say that’s a sign we’re on the right track so we check into the efforts to end homelessness here.
