Finding someone dead during Mecklenburg County’s annual homeless count—two years in a row—hits hard. Volunteers out before sunrise, hoping to help, instead found tragedy near I-77 and Woodlawn.

Handing out gift cards and warm food helps, but it’s clear: for our most vulnerable neighbors, housing insecurity is a matter of life and death. What do you think Charlotte should do next to tackle this crisis? #Safety #Charlotte #Homelessness
