St. Peter’s Homes, Inc. was created in 1989 to assist in the identification, acquisition, rehabilitation and occupation of suitable housing for low income persons in need in the Charlotte area to alleviate homelessness and reduce human suffering.  Today St. Peter’s Homes, Inc. owns and operates McCreesh Place, Charlotte’s first supportive housing apartment community, designed with sixty-four (64) single room occupancy (SRO) units that are rented to formerly homeless, disabled men.

The apartment community is named for The Reverend
Eugene P. McCreesh, SJ, a priest at St. Peter’s Catholic
and homeless advocate remembered for his passion and dedication to help men and women in need. 

We accepted our first resident into our beautiful new apartment community in November 2003.

Mission & Purpose

St. Peter’s Homes, Inc. provides affordable housing in a recovery-friendly environment with on-site support services, including case management and crisis prevention and intervention.  The apartment community operates similar to a fair market apartment community with a lease agreement and monthly rental payments from residents.  The Lease or "Lease Agreement" outlines what is expected of residents during their tenancy in McCreesh Place.  Residents may live at McCreesh Place for as long as they wish, if they keep their lease agreement and pay their rent.  Supportive Housing Case Management involves goal-setting with individualized service plans; linking residents to community resources that will help them maintain housing and achieve their goals, such as vocational assessments; mental health services, and educational opportunities. Support Services staff assist with life skills and social network development.
