CHARLOTTE — A nonprofit in Charlotte announced it is reopening to continue its mission of helping people who have nowhere to go after leaving the hospital.
The Samaritan’s House is a safe space for patients who have left the hospital after treatment but are experiencing homelessness. Thanks to the nonprofit’s ‘Save Our Home’ campaign, more than $400,000 has been raised, allowing them to reopen in July.
