We are permanent supportive housing. McCreesh Place is a home for its residents, not a program. Most of our residents rent here for more than a year while they are getting on their feet. Some choose to rent here indefinitely. Permanent: residents have a place where they can remain as long as they choose. Housing: their own apartment in their own name. Supportive: residents have the help they need to rebuild their lives so they don’t have to return to homelessness in the future.

We are part of the solution. Our residents, staff, board, partners and volunteers are all part of one of Charlotte’s most innovative solutions to homelessness. Exciting, recent research is revealing that it is possible to end homelessness for even those hardest to serve, the ones who are homeless most frequently and for the longest periods of time. Permanent supportive housing has been shown in other cities to be cost-neutral compared to emergency shelters, and cost-saving when public expenses related to homelessness are considered.

We are community builders. Beyond renting apartments, St. Peter’s Homes, Inc. is also about creating community connections so that people who are homeless can become a part of the community where they live. More than building apartments, we are building connections for formerly homeless men through support services onsite, volunteers, and other service providers in the community.
