For every dollar of support received from local government, the community receives ten dollars in services. The benefit to the residents of Charlotte County in 2009 is over $1,000,000 in services for an investment of $100,000. This is made possible through State & Federal funding and the generous donations of time and money by the citizens and business of this community.
Founded in 1989, the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition leads the drive to assisting individuals and families in need. Our clients are not only the chronically homeless, but many families and individuals hit hard by the economy and foreclosure crisis.
