About Carolinas Care Partnership
Carolinas CARE Partnership concentrates its giving on local safety‑net services in Charlotte/Mecklenburg County, primarily funding housing and homelessness interventions, short‑term emergency assistance, and behavioral health supports. Grants skew toward operational support for shelters, housing navigation/outreach programs, and crisis aid providers, with several multi‑year or repeated awards to the same neighborhood providers. The foundation emphasizes frontline providers serving low‑income, at‑risk, and youth populations rather than policy or national initiatives.

About Carolinas Care Partnership
Carolinas CARE Partnership’s grantmaking centers on housing instability and immediate crisis support in Charlotte and nearby communities, with repeated awards to the same frontline providers. Housing information services appear throughout the recent grants list, including support for Dudleys Place in Huntersville, Roof Above in Charlotte, and Hope Haven in Charlotte. The foundation also funds facility-based housing, short-term emergency assistance, and treatment tied to housing stability, showing a practical emphasis on services that help people move through an emergency and into more stable arrangements. Several grants point to a consistent neighborhood-service pattern rather than one-off project funding. House of Mercy in Belmont received multiple awards for facility-based housing, while RAO Community Health in Charlotte received support for housing information services and PHP-related work. Other recipients include McLeod Addictive Disease Center for inpatient substance abuse treatment and Time Out Youth for housing information services. Across the recent grants, the foundation backs local organizations that deliver direct services to people facing homelessness, housing insecurity, or immediate financial crisis.
What Carolinas Care Partnership Funds
Housing navigation is a central theme. Carolinas CARE Partnership gave $218,868 to Dudleys Place in Huntersville for housing information services, and also supported Roof Above in Charlotte for the same purpose in multiple years. Short-term crisis relief is another visible area. Affinity Health in Rock Hill received grants for emergency assistance and housing services, while Kintegra Health in Gastonia received repeated awards for short-term emergency assistance. The foundation also funds behavioral health linked to housing stability. McLeod Addictive Disease Center in Charlotte received support for inpatient substance abuse treatment, and RAO Community Health in Charlotte received awards tied to PHP and housing information services. Youth-serving housing support appears as well, including Time Out Youth in Charlotte for housing information services.
