Homelessness Prevention in Charlotte-Mecklenburg

Released in October 2019, this report provides the community with a comprehensive look at the overall prevention assistance system. Despite an influx of new funding, and the recognized potential for broad community impacts, prevention remains underutilized as a system tool. Charlotte-Mecklenburg can use this report to look at prevention assistance with a new lens, aligning existing resources and efforts to optimize the housing and homelessness system by targeting resources upstream, where they can be more effectively and efficiently used.
