Overview

Mission

The Charlotte Housing Justice Coalition's primary purpose is to advocate for all residents across Mecklenburg County to have quality, affordable housing, helping residents access legal resources, and advocating for residents facing displacement.

What it reported doing in 2025

Advocacy with Steeleberry Acres neighborhood (made up of 102 households) near Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT) related to rezonings and the destruction of historic structures in the neighborhood. We have helped facilitate and train community members from the neighborhood on aspects of Planning and Rezoning in order to help set better policy in regards to residential and industrial development near the airport. Currently, City Planning has worked with this community to set stricter parameters on industrial and manufacturing development in close proximity to their neighborhood through the City of Charlotte's Community Area Planning process as a result of our advocacy. This can be seen in the City's Southwest Middle and West Outer Community Area Plans (Southwest Middle was adopted in 2025, West Outer is planned to be adopted in April of 2026).

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
