The Charlotte Housing Authority

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is responsible for administering and managing a range of programs authorized and funded by Congress under the basic provisions of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The Act created the public and Indian housing program, which now provides affordable housing to over 1.3 million households nationwide. The aim of the Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) is to ensure safe, decent, and affordable housing; create opportunities for residents' self-sufficiency and economic independence; and assure fiscal integrity by all program participants. Local housing agencies were incorporated to manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they could afford.

I just wanted to say thank you for ALL the information that Chris gave me yesterday. He was such a great help, I can't thank him enough.

Please tell him how grateful I am, and when I contact you again I will ask for him. I only wish I had know about Alliance two years ago, I wouldn't be in the mess I'm in today.

Thank you again

Dear Mr. Ed Gilliam

From the bottom of our hearts and on behalf of the Real World Event committee, "Thank you, thank you." Because of you, our young people will learn the skills necessary to be self~sufficient. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Sincerely Yours,
Services Director
I am writing to say Thank You so very much for all your help. It was a great relief to me just knowing I wasn’t alone in my financial crisis.

I specifically want to thank Marsha Sims & Jesse Moore who took the time to walk me through everything. I truly felt their genuine concern with regards to my circumstance (without judgment).

Thank you to all the staff! I believe in doing what you are doing – it is quite like a ministry to hurting people.

Thank you all again, Tonya Z
I am writing about one of your outstanding staff members, Mr. Ned Stevenson. I was referred to him by one of your bankruptcy counselors. I really appreciated his expertise working with my mortgage company.

I was going through an emotional crisis ... He was there to help walk with me through this difficult time.

It is comforting to know there are still people like him, who compassionately listen & work with customers with expertise & professionalism.

I just wanted to say "thank you all" so much! I can honestly say I learned my lesson. I am through with credit cards. If I can't pay for something then I don't need it.

Thank you all so much.

PS: Getting your letter saying "Paid in full" was the best Christmas present I got!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping my husband & I to getting back on the right track.

You made this process so easy and you certainly did not judge us.

I can't thank you eoungh for listening and helping us to come up with a payment plan that works.

You have truly been a blessing.

This letter is to let you know, you have a one of a kind working with you, Ms. Patrice McLeod.

Patrice was so helpful, she made me feel like a person & not a number. Patrice explained the program to me, taking as much time as needed.

The stress of all my creditors has gone out the window. You will never know how much that means to me & my family. Thanks for my Life back.

Sherry C.
I would like to thank everybody at Alliance for all the help during some of the toughest times I have ever been through.

The staff at Alliance has always been very friendly & professional, I truly believe the management & staff should be commended for all that you do.

Thank you,
Karl M.
Alliance Credit Counseling has always gone the extra mile to work with me, to work within my means, and to do whatever has been required, or requested on my behalf to see that my financial burden is a shared venture between me and Alliance.

I feel they are truly a friend in the business!

Thank you,
Leslie B.

I wanted to personally thank you for all of your efforts on my behalf. You have done definitely everything you possibly could, and more. You have been a pleasure to deal with. You're to be commended for your efforts.

Alliance has an excellent program. I would not hesitate to recommend you or your company to anyone.
