The 2016 Housing Instability & Homelessness Report Series is a collection of local reports designed to better equip our community to make data-informed decisions around housing instability and homelessness. Utilizing local data and research, these reports are designed to provide informative and actionable research to providers, funders, public officials and the media as well as the general population. In 2014, the Housing Advisory Board of Charlotte Mecklenburg outlined four key reporting areas that, together, comprised an annual series of reports for community stakeholders.
