A Child’s Place (ACP) works to erase the impact of homelessness on children and their education. ACP programs focus on supporting families with children in schools and neighborhoods left out of the economic prosperity in Charlotte, NC. A team of specialists are deployed into schools and the community to work with the unique challenges of family homelessness.
ACP addresses complex challenges of homelessness to build a community where children have access to housing, engage in healthy supportive relationships, and succeed in school. ACP’s ongoing strategy is to create systemic change within Mecklenburg County by serving as a voice and advocate for homeless students.
A Child’s Place is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which depends on in-kind contributions of school supplies, school uniforms, other clothing, personal toiletry items, and food for snacks throughout the year. ACP is nearly 100% privately funded by individuals, foundations, and corporations with fundraising being a top priority in addition to the in-kind contributions.
