Heal Charlotte is a place-based organization that focuses on neighborhood revitalization utilizing a holistic approach.
Heal Charlotte currently operates three programs: Youth Development, Heal A Home, and the Heal Charlotte Rapid Rehousing Program.
In the Fall of 2016 two protesters, Greg Jackson and Antuan Smith, banned together during the unfortunate Charlotte riots in pursuit of justice and founded the Charlotte Community Coalition. Antuan and Greg valiantly pursued justice. What they inevitably discovered was passion, purpose, and destined placement in serving the communities of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Through much support, mentors, and partners the Charlotte Community Coalition found its niche and honed into advancing communities, impacting youth, and partnering law enforcement, city officials, and civic services to advance the communities of Charlotte. This newfound calling centered around one goal and that was to heal the heartbeat of Charlotte, its communities, and the future of the city: the youth. From this, what was previously known as the Charlotte Community Coalition eventually became the award-winning Heal Charlotte; “one of Charlotte’s youngest and most inspirational community empowerment and youth advocacy non-profit organizations.”
