the full Strategic Plan<br />
<strong>CCM</strong>’s Housing Program is comprised of three progressive tiers. For more than ten years<br />
they have been referred to as My Father’s House, The Mothers & Children Home, and<br />
Teaching Housing. As our beginning phase, My Father’s House has been in the “triage”<br />
stage, combatting the factors that lead to the housing crisis. At this stage, children may<br />
experience their first safe, reliable bed to sleep in. Mothers may finally connect with<br />
appropriate childcare so that they can seek and secure employment. Spiritual healing<br />
can begin to take place as physical needs are met.<br />
With the recent loss of the facility that comprised My Father’s House, <strong>CCM</strong> lost<br />
28 beds which served 6-8 mothers and their children. In order to maintain the<br />
continuity of services and care management, all of the existing residents were<br />
relocated to the Mothers & Children Home (MaC) or Teaching Houses. The<br />
housing program is currently serving 59 individuals: 7 families at the MaC,<br />
including 10 children, and 17 families in the Teaching Housing program,<br />
including 25 children.<br />
We are blessed with an opportunity to replace a portion of the<br />
lost housing capacity in spring <strong>2023</strong> through space offered by a<br />
Kannapolis Church partner. <strong>CCM</strong> is hoping to assist the church<br />
with renovations to this facility in order to serve 4 families<br />
with the same care and services that have been historically<br />
provided at My Father’s House.<br />
The Homeless Count!<br />
Cabarrus County will participate in the Annual Nationwide<br />
Homeless Point-In-Time Count on Wednesday <strong>January</strong> 25, <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
This count is helpful to convey changes in the homeless population<br />
to state and national programs addressing homelessness.<br />
Local agencies serving homeless populations will be asked<br />
to record a census of individuals and families residing in their<br />
programs on that night.<br />
Others will seek out unsheltered individuals throughout the<br />
community in an effort to identify specific circumstances and<br />
causes of homelessness that would allow our community to better<br />
respond to the need.<br />
Any individual or agency interested in participating as a<br />
volunteer can inquire at <strong>CCM</strong>@cooperativeministry.com
