Charlotte is short 23,000 affordable housing units for those at the lowest incomes, or those earning less than 30% AMI. If you haven’t already cast your ballot, vote YES on the bonds to help support the Housing Trust Fund! Roof Above stands in the gap for those at the lowest incomes. We are solution oriented, and the solution to homelessness is housing. bit.ly/housingbonds
