St. John’s Place
St. John’s Place is a 31-unit apartment community that provides stable, affordable housing for some of Charlotte’s most vulnerable neighbors. In July 2025, SHC finalized the sale of the property to a trusted partner who shares our commitment to preserving affordability.
This change allows SHC to continue housing residents at St. John’s Place while shifting our focus fully to what matters most. By dedicating more resources to supportive services and case management, we are able to increase the long-term stability of those who call it home.
With this transition, we remain deeply engaged in the daily lives of residents and better positioned to help them thrive in housing.
Success Story
What would you do to ensure that you had a warm place to sleep at night? For Clayton, going to jail seemed to be his only answer. Clayton became homeless on his 18th birthday when he aged out of foster care. Like many kids in his situation, he fell into a life of petty crime just to survive and moved back and forth between the streets, shelter, and jail. Whenever Clayton was released from jail, he would commit another crime to avoid being without shelter. In total, Clayton spent nine years of his life going in and out of prison just to avoid being hungry and homeless. Eventually, Clayton was able to break his jail-street-shelter cycle. Today, he is happy to finally have a safe, warm, and permanent place to live that he can truly call home.
