CHARLOTTE — Roof Above is revamping the outdoor space at one of its housing facilities.
On Friday, volunteers with Lowes brought new life to the patio area of the SECU Rise on Clanton in south Charlotte. A total of 66 people, previously experiencing homelessness, have moved into the hotel-turned-apartments.

Roof Above CEO, Liz Clasen-Kelly, said projects like this help make the building feel like home.
“So they’re people that lived with a lot of instability and we’re so excited to be able to offer the stability and dignity of home with this project,” Clasen-Kelly said.
This is one of 100 community-nominated projects Lowes is doing through its “Hometowns” program.
