Charlotte Family Housing | Fundraising for Non-Profit Videos by Kim Brattain Media
The video follows Tiffany Jackson, a single mother who struggled to afford basic needs for her daughter Kaylee and nephew Raheem, leading to nights of crying and a period of couch‑surfing with friends and relatives. After months of instability, Tiffany and her family found shelter at Charlotte Family Housing. There, she meets bi‑weekly with Jessica, one of fifteen master’s‑level social workers, to review budgeting, employment, and future planning. The organization’s empowerment model provides temporary housing combined with holistic services aimed at long‑term self‑sufficiency. A dedicated volunteer network, the HOPE team, offers regular check‑ins, meals, and emotional support, which Tiffany describes as “like family.” Through this support, Tiffany advances to a managerial position at work. The video challenges the “Band‑Aid” myth that simply providing a roof solves homelessness, emphasizing the importance of sustained housing and life‑skill learning to break cycles of poverty. Impact statistics are highlighted: 829 children served in the past year, 1,245 individuals impacted, and an 86% rate of families remaining independent and housed after program completion.
