What We Do
Common Wealth Charlotte (CWC) equips economically-vulnerable wage earners with increased financial capability, so they can attain financial stability and decrease reliance on charitable assistance. This is achieved through a trauma-informed approach including education, personalized counseling, access to banking, and 0%-interest loans (up to $1,000).
Interesting Info
- An estimated 200,000 hourly-wage earners in Mecklenburg County make ~$2,900 monthly as take-home pay.
- CWC clients have seen an 86 average credit score increase once their 0%-interest loans are paid-in-full.
- In Mecklenburg County, 120,000 housing units are NOT within 1/2-mile of a bank or credit union.
