TORC - Tenant Organizing Resource Center

Last year we called on Charlotte City Council to pass an ordinance mandating all rental units have air conditioning.

This year, we are calling for it again. Charlotte City Council Housing Committee will be discussing mandating air conditioning at its August 3rd meeting.

Email The Chair of the Housing Committee, LaWana Mayfield and Mayor Harrington & let them know that these temperatures demand an air conditioning mandate to ensure the safety of low income residents.

The closure follows the sale and redevelopment plans for the property, forcing dozens of households to find new places.

Charlotte city council has not been bold in supporting the residents of Forest Park Mobile Homes. The homeowners requested support from council members in getting to the table with the owner of the park and developers hoping to build 400 market rate apartments where 60 units of deeply naturally occurring affordable housing have been for decades.

Developers did not feel the the need to meet with residents before the rezoning vote.

On December 15th at 5pm If City Council and Charlotte votes yes to the rezoning of forest park mobile homes, they will vote to displace another community and lose 60 units of affordable housing. Where are we replacing 60 units of 4 bed 2 bath homes for $500 a month?

LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE!! Charlotteans, do you need a window ac unit because your landlord does not supply ac in your unit? If you know someone who needs one, please send us a message ASAP. Supply is limited.
