Homeless Helping Homeless

Homeless Helping Homeless (HHH) does not give the homeless a voice, it is the voice of the homeless. Since 2001, members of the homeless community have, through HHH, advocated and organized politically for themselves. Facilitated by the Urban Ministry Center as part of the Community Works 945 project, HHH demonstrates civic concern, honesty, and genuine commitment by and on behalf of the homeless in Charlotte, NC.

Solidarity Sleep-Out A Success!

HHH's Solidarity Sleep-Out - organized to draw attention to the need for more year-round shelter beds - was a success. Over 500 individuals attended and nearly 250 spent the night peacefully in Marshall Park. The speakers ranged from Representative Sue Myrick from Congress to Claire Pietras, who is currently homeless and resides at the Salvation Army Women's Shelter. Keep your eye out for more information. In the meantime, enjoy some photos from the event.
