Roof Above

Roof Above's Day Services Center in Charlotte, a facility providing essential services for the unhoused, was damaged by storms causing the roof to collapse. The center is now closed for months, but the organization is relocating services to adjacent buildings and mobile units to continue support.

An overnight storm caused major damage to Roof Above's Day Services Center in Charlotte, leading to the closure of 'The Hub' and the relocation of modified services to 'The Depot' while repairs are assessed. Some services, including showers and laundry, are temporarily disrupted.

A portion of Roof Above’s primary shelter in north Charlotte is closed after severe storms caused roof damage, disrupting showers, laundry, and cooling services during extreme summer heat. The nonprofit can no longer provide cooling shelter services for vulnerable residents as repairs are underway, though no injuries were reported.

Roof Above is expanding shelter hours and outreach efforts during a heatwave in Charlotte over the Independence Day weekend, partnering with Mecklenburg County and The Salvation Army to provide access to water, food, and air conditioning. Director of street outreach Harper Ellis emphasized the dangers of extreme heat in urban areas and urged public assistance to those in need.
