Read Morewe’re proud to share a new report, Repairing the Gap: Recommendations for an Equitable Rental Repair Program in Mecklenburg County, created by students in the UNC Charlotte Gerald G. Fox Master of Public Administration program. This project, completed in partnership with A Home For All through United Way of Greater Charlotte, digs into one big question our community hasn’t yet solved:
How do we ensure renters have access to the same healthy, safe living conditions as homeowners, especially when landlords may lack the resources to make critical repairs?

The [Re]Build Center Powered by Lowe’s was created to meet that need.
