THE HOMEOWNERS IMPACT FUND HAS LAUNCHED

The Homeowners Impact Fund was started with a “whisper” back in 2019. Vicky Mitchener had been noticing something in her travels around the US, it seemed that she was seeing more homeless people on the streets than ever before. Upon returning to Charlotte, she reached out to longtime friend, Kathy Izard who had worked with the Urban Ministry center in Charlotte for many years and developed the Homeless to Homes program.

Mitchener knew there had to be something the real estate community could do to make an impact on the homeless in our area. She created the Homeowners Impact Fund, a non-profit organization designed to help the homeless in our community have a roof over their head.

How It Works

We are asking everyone involved in a home sale, the agents, buyer, seller, lender, title company, attorney, etc. to donate $10 in honor of the closing. If each transaction raised $70 we could raise $84,000 in 2020 from only Dickens Mitchener closings. We would like to see this fund grow to all real estate transactions around the country. With 6,023,000 transactions in the US in 2019, $421,610,000 could’ve been raised to make a huge impact on the homeless in our country.

The 2020 Plan

Earlier this year at our Agent Awards Breakfast, Wells Fargo generously donated $1000 to start our fund. We officially launched the fund in July 2020 and have already received donations in excess of ($2600 update this number as we get ready to publish) to date. We plan to allocate funds in 2020/2021 to A Roof Above (the merger of Urban Ministry + Men’s Shelter of Charlotte), Safe Alliance, and Charlotte Family Housing Authority. Funds raised in other areas will be distributed in their local community.

As of January 2020, there were an estimated 3,569 homeless in Mecklenburg County, and approximately 567,715 across the United States. And those numbers are predicted to rise because of the pandemic. If everyone can give A LITTLE, we can raise A LOT to make an impact on the homeless in our community, one home sale at a time.
