More About Us
Machiah’s House is a forthcoming transitional home-based program dedicated to serving homeless young female adults (ages 18 to 21) in the Charlotte, NC area.
We are actively establishing our residential care program, which will offer structured support and training in a safe, home-like setting. Our primary goal is to foster independence both within the residence and in the wider community.
