little differences Ryan Nicholas local
0:27
and I'll make it work and with the marsh
0:30
that problem else's website leave is
0:34
that the words coming and it really just
0:36
like him and I knew weren't grabbing
0:39
stuff
0:39
and fairly made it for the work
0:41
completely washed out the road
0:43
you're both of our furniture has massive
0:47
damage throughout our next almost two
0:49
months then we moved to a new place
0:51
thinking we get away from the storm and
0:53
hurricane Matthew did and it's like the
0:55
same makeover is helpful for my team and
0:58
we had Ryan than a year so we have you
1:01
born to us it's not just a good work you
1:09
can't go work you income and hell if you
1:11
could income back and it just so he just
1:13
got overwhelming and so we decided is
1:16
just kind of burgers of every day we
1:18
reached out to the Veterans Crisis Line
1:20
and they gonna start an awesome black
1:24
[Music]
1:30
the Salvation Army however there are
1:33
some workers I have contact with the way
1:36
home programmers and there's some good
1:39
program definitely helped out a little
1:44
bit but again two-on-one is one of the
2:01
first resources that a person may
2:04
connect to they call 2 1 1 2 1 1 will
2:07
give us call out on coordinating entry
2:09
in from the other being smashed in love
2:12
with the appropriate services and once
2:14
they are met with appropriate services
2:16
there the agency may be able to then
2:19
make them a referral to housing CLT
2:22
mission of housing CLT is to be able to
2:26
collaborate lead and transform they just
2:30
need a little bit of help to get started
2:46
[Music]
3:00
[Music]
3:17
you
3:29
continue to be overcrowded and one of
3:31
the main things are their own products
3:33
because of rent not being affordable
3:37
part of the housing CLT is to be able to
3:40
leave because people eat to fortify
3:42
house in the lead to community into
3:45
reaching out to those service providers
3:47
reaching out to those landlords and
3:50
those people that could actually help
3:52
transform another person's life so the
3:57
goal of how the CLT one when it comes to
3:59
the landlords is to make it as simple as
4:01
possible we are able to assist when it
4:05
comes to like maybe some gap in services
4:08
or some gap in rent or as gap in
4:10
security deposits so you're put some
4:13
risk management and funds in place so
4:15
the goal is with the landlords is not to
4:18
ever have that unit vacant not for the
4:21
landlord's be able to lose any money
4:23
bottom line when you have properties
4:26
that you own and if you acquire those
4:28
properties in you want to take care of
4:30
those properties it is an investment in
4:33
this investment and some financial
4:35
investment and clearly understand that
4:38
but while says what investment in
4:40
somebody else's life
4:42
[Music]
4:51
right now we have a shortage of
4:53
affordable housing the program that CLT
4:57
has to offer is really really good so
5:00
other other property managers or other
5:02
owners can make good money get the
5:04
houses full without the men sitting
5:06
there vacant minutes water going into
5:08
them and stuff like that while they're
5:09
just sitting there but they can also
5:11
help out the community there is still
5:13
people that don't have really really
5:16
good income but they pay their bill
5:18
they'll pay their rent and there's still
5:20
good people they'll take care of your
5:21
home if people out here property owners
5:24
or property managers or owners would
5:26
just go out take a chance and give
5:29
people some help I think they'll see
5:31
that you know good things are come back
5:33
to them as well it's kind of a win-win
5:35
for both ends you get your houses around
5:37
you know you get you help someone and we
5:40
all feel good when we help people and on
5:42
top of they're gonna back you up
5:45
[Music]
5:55
different areas different people and
5:59
make up a community you know I think
6:01
about Charlotte
6:02
I live on a certain side of town but
6:05
this is my city this is my community and
6:10
weather's part of town I'm on but it's
6:13
the other side I have a duty to be this
6:19
being my home to affect the whole city
6:21
and we just can't dress it up from the
6:26
outside we have to continue to start you
6:28
know paving the ground from the inside
6:30
and that comes with you know making
6:33
affordable that comes with making our
6:34
communities safe that comes to the point
6:39
where you see people who need help you
6:42
know don't wait to see other people do
6:44
or be the first person to go out there
6:46
and help with time money we've done a
6:51
great job dedicating ourselves to making
6:53
this a great community but like I said
6:56
we still have a long way to go
6:58
[Music]
7:12
they want to do something their own and
7:14
they want to pay their own bills but
7:16
they need a little pollution needs a
7:17
little help so they may live in a
7:19
fordable housing you know to help them
7:21
and they're paying their bills and
7:22
they're maintaining and keeping a job
7:23
and their kids are driving so it
7:25
definitely makes a difference it helps
7:27
so you know Mike why don't we live in
7:29
the house at one point but how did my
7:30
mom before the house she wouldn't have
7:32
been able to afford a house in that land
7:33
or it didn't say hey we're gonna work
7:35
with your income and let you and your
7:37
kids stay here so that's what we need
7:38
work in Charlotte I'm pretty sure a lot
7:43
of property owners didn't start out rich
7:45
you had to start somewhere so for those
7:48
of you that know and understand that
7:50
your life wasn't always great for you
7:53
understand it these people that are in
7:55
need of your help
7:56
life hasn't always been grateful but you
7:58
can make a difference you can provide an
8:00
opportunity of a lifetime for someone by
8:03
simply allowing allowing them to just
8:05
live in your house so I mean landlords
8:08
property owners we got a step up we got
8:10
to do it
8:14
