After 6 years, we have decided to close Queen City Forward. Thank you for everything! #QCFF #Forward

@shareclt @cthomasclt @amychiou Thank you!

Congratualtions to @cthomasclt and @amychiou and the rest of the @QCForward team for all of the hard work you have done over the past six years to support the social entrepreneur community in Charlotte, we appreciate all you have done for our Queen City!

I saw so many terrific ideas in just a few hours! Congrats to the winners! twitter.com/CBRbiz/status/…

.@CrimSen05 on #equitabledevelopment in @westendclt We need a multi-layered approach of blending old with new. Tools like anti-displacement tax fund, legal aid for renters will help. #equitabledevelopment #iseehousing #buildtogether

The #EvergreenTeam is a committe of public + private sector leaders who identified BOLD ideas for affordable + workforce housing. We’re fortunate to hear their ideas today! #iseehousing #housingclt

Mayor @ViLyles has shared “my passion over the years has been housing and that’s really something I’m going to be passionate about.” @CLTgov housing leaders talk about current progress, limitations + opportunities. #iseehousing #housingclt

We’re discussing equitable development with a panel from @knightfdn @QCFamilyTree @CharlotteCCP @UCityPartners @theleagueofci. #iseehousing #housingclt

We’re starting our breakout sessions! Look forward to seeing the #inspiration + #innovation that results. #timetolearn #housingclt #iseehousing

The dynamic duo: @amychiou + @cthomasclt at today’s Innovation Challenge! #iseehousing #ichousing #housingclt

It’s been an honor to put together today’s Innovation Challenge on Housing with a team of community leaders! Thank you for your partnership @CharlotteCCP @CLTgov @MeckCounty @unccui @qcquizshow @cmlibrary #EvergreenCommittee #charlottehousingauthority!

An affordable rent for someone working minimum wage is $377/month. Yet the average monthly rent for a two bedroom apartment in #CLT is $1467/month. We need to do better. #ICHousing
