Apartment Complex For Homeless Opens In Charlotte
http://charlotte.cbslocal.com/2012/01/30/apartment-complex-for-homeless-opens-in-charlotte/A 10-year plan to find homes for the chronically homeless in North Carolina’s largest city is gaining momentum.
A complex of 85 efficiency apartments and on-site support services is now open in Charlotte.
Moore Place’s director is Caroline Chambre, a Charlotte native who managed a similar program in New York City that was the nation’s largest. Chambre says Moore Place offers a cost-effective solution to homelessness since it can house someone permanently for less than 30 dollars a night.

It's a start, but there's a LONG way from 85 to millions of apartments.
