Community Link enables individuals and families to obtain and sustain safe, decent and affordable housing. Our organization has been serving Charlotte/Mecklenburg since 1929.
We offer Asset Building and Travelers Aid services. Asset Building includes free Foreclosure Prevention counseling, free tax preparation for low-to-moderate income households, and a homeownership education and counseling program for first-time homeowners. We offer Foreclosure Prevention services in 21 counties across North Carolina.
Travelers Aid provides free transportation vouchers to people fleeing domestic violence. We work with each customer to confirm their destination, prepare them for the trip, and to follow up after they arrive to ensure their safety.
- We opened in 1929 as Travelers Aid at Charlotte's train station to help stranded people return to a safe home in another city.
- During the 2023 tax season, our Free Tax Prep CLT volunteers and staff prepared 2,035 tax returns for free to low-to-moderate income households.
- We prevented foreclosure for 193 families across 21 North Carolina counties in our 2024 fiscal year.
