WCNC Living in Charlotte, one of the fastest-growing cities, comes with a price.
Renting or buying a home has skyrocketed and many people can't afford to live here.
Now, a Charlotte woman is on a mission to help solve the affordable housing crisis.
“We had times when we had to live in affordable housing,” Eliza Hammond, a Charlotte resident, said.
Growing up, the Hammond twins, raised by their single mother, needed extra help to have a roof over their head.
“It has allowed us to become who we are today,” Hammond said.
These days, Hammond sees Charlotte changing.
Rents are rising, development is running rampant, and all this growth is pushing out long time residents.
“The elderly is one of the fastest growing populations of homelessness and when I heard that it broke my heart,” Hammond said.
Now, at 44-years-old her life journey is starting to look different.
“I am a pharmacist by trade," Hammond said. "I’ve been a pharmacist for 14 years with Atrium Health, but I am building affordable housing.”
