Homelessness Programs

Foreclosures are at an all time high in Cabarrus County and projected to increase for another year or two. There is a dearth of safe and affordable housing for families who are starting out or starting over. We experience an average of 3 to 4 families each week at our homeless shelter that we are unable to house because our family facilities are full.

Samaritan House Night Shelter

The Samaritan House Night Shelter is the only homeless shelter in Cabarrus County. Our 40-bed program is located in the Salvation Army building in Concord. Over 300 men, women, and children receive shelter at this facility each year. Shelter staff are on site 365 days a year to ensure that each guest finds a safe place and a warm bed, a hot meal and breakfast, shower and laundry facilities, case management services and an environment where God’s love is manifest.

Mothers & Children Housing Ministry

"Mothers & Children Housing Ministry" is an emergency and transitional housing program for mothers with preadolescent children who have become or are in eminent danger of being homeless. Safety … responsibility … accountability … progress are all program priorities.

My Father's House

My Father's House provides homeless families that have children under the age of 18 with the following services: temporary emergency housing for up to 60 days, food and necessities, case management to assist in housing, employment, mental health, and other identified needs. My Father's House relies on area congregations to provide overnight accommodations and meals for homeless families, while Cooperative Christian Ministry provides staff support and access to other resources. A Day Center is provided to give the families access to such necessities as: showers, laundry, kitchen, nursery, computer and telephone. Transportation is provided each day between the Day Center and the congregations which provide sleeping accommodations. For more information view My Father's House page.

Samaritan House Soup Kitchen

The Samaritan House Soup Kitchen provides a warm meal Monday through Friday each week throughout the year. Individuals and families in need of a nutritious meal and/or a period of time free of the elements may come in and fellowship over the lunchtime meal. Volunteers assist daily to serve our guests. For more information on how to volunteer and help with serving our guests, view Volunteer at CCM page.

Transitional Housing

Transitional Housing is the vital step in the Housing Continuum that has been missing in Cabarrus County. The gap between Emergency Shelter and Permanent Supportive Housing has been too great for many families who are trying to emerge from homelessness. CCM initiated Project Independence in 2007; a Teaching Housing program that is establishing a model to fill this need.

Teaching Housing program

Our Teaching Housing program allows a working family the opportunity to establish the financial stability and personal disciplines needed to maintain independent housing. This six to twenty-four month program provides Case Management for personal improvement and financial planning. Participants share in the cost of housing while working to eliminate financial barriers that prevent them from being successful. During this time, positive behaviors are reinforced to eliminate negative factors that lead to financial crisis. Graduates of the program will move into permanent supportive housing relationships or home ownership programs with key CCM partners.

Daytime Resource Center

Our Daytime Resource Center provides access and relief for homeless and/or jobless individuals in Cabarrus County to resources that will allow them to improve their employability and to conduct an effective job search. Cooperative Christian Ministry has established a partnership with Midway United Methodist Church in Kannapolis and has created Philip's Station as the anchor program for The Opportunity House. Philip the Evangelist of the book of Acts took his ministry to Samaria and ministered to those whom nobody else wanted to minister. Call CCM's Volunteer Coordinator at (704)706-9052 to inquire about volunteering at The Opportunity House.
