This page is designed to directly address the navigators (case managers, success coaches, etc) who are trying to help all the various types of unsheltered people. Use the categories found on our main menu to help you drill down to the resources you’ll find most helpful. Our original intent was to aid people experiencing homelessness with resources to help them with shelter, food and jobs. But most of them need your help to steer them through the complex maze of resources available and reduce their anxiety and frustration.
Here is a list of Need-to-Know topics just for Navigators and Case Mgrs:
Adult Protective Services APS (when to get them involved)
CARES Special Paramedic/Licensed Social Worker teams
Medicaid
Medical Equipment (donated / gently used)
Need-to-know items (certainly for the unsheltered but maybe you too)
Veteran’s Programs
SOAR Initiative (applying for SS disability)
Replacing a Social Security Card

If you are a services provider for the homeless community and there are some errors in our posting about you; please, please leave us a comment about that. We monitor those on a daily basis and we really want to fix those asap.
So how does clthomeless.com differ from other homeless resource sites? We won’t post any resource that we haven’t verified personally and/or visited on foot. Our focus is just Mecklenburg County and for the time-being, exactly HOW to get into one of these shelters! Our posts are written to be used directly by homeless people but we’ve added pages like this one for special info for those who are helping the unhoused navigate all the resources Charlote has to offer. We also have procedures and information in place to circle back every 3 ~ 6 months to make sure our information is up-to-date.
There are so many resources that it might take us well into 2024 to turn this site into a viable resource tool for Charlotte’s many case managers. You can speed that up by entering your organization’s info on this questionnaire.
