In FY 2024, Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy served 11,774 individuals across our community.

One of them was Renai (pictured second from the right with her sister and their grandchildren). When Renai faced the threat of losing her home to an unexpected lien, she turned to the Advocacy Center for help. With support from our advocates, Renai navigated complex legal proceedings and committed to a five-year repayment plan to save the house where her mother—Big Mama—raised their family. A home filled with generations of memories and milestones. In October 2024, Renai made her final payment, ensuring her family’s home—and Big Mama’s legacy—remains a place of love and community for generations to come.
