Community Link NC

Community Link is a 501(c)3 non-profit based out of Charlotte, North Carolina and has been serving the community since 1929. Our mission is to enable individuals and families to obtain and sustain safe, decent and affordable housing.

We have been a black-led and majority black-serving organization since the early 2000s. Our main program pillars are Asset Building and Homeless to Housing. We offer services in 21 counties across the state, but predominately serve the Mecklenburg/Charlotte area.

Asset Building programming includes free foreclosure prevention counseling, free tax preparation services for low-to-moderate income households, and a first-time homebuyer program with personalized counseling, opportunities for down payment assistance, and monthly financial empowerment workshops. 

Homeless to Housing programming includes rental assistance and a Travelers Aid program. Travelers Aid provides free transportation vouchers to stranded individuals in distress. Often, we are serving people fleeing domestic violence who have a safe haven elsewhere in the country. We work with each customer to confirm their destination, prepare them for the trip, and to follow up after they arrive to ensure their safety.
