    Homeowner Spotlight - Charlotte Williams
    Faith has been central to Charlotte Williams’ life, and she has been a key member of Mount Zion Church of God in Christ for over three decades. Despite early struggles, including dropping out in the 9th grade and facing addiction, Charlotte’s strong faith and perseverance led her to a master’s degree in clinical counseling and 46 years of sobriety. Now, she works with the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, helping women affected by human trafficking.

    Home Repair
    Living on Sherrick Road Southeast Canton, Ohio, for 36 years, Charlotte raised her children and fostered many others in her home. After her husband’s death,maintaining her home became a significant challenge. She turned to Habitat for Humanity’s Aging in Place program, needing assistance with her leaking roof, drafty windows, and unsafe, unpaved driveway. In spring 2024, Habitat for Humanity will begin extensive repairs on Charlotte’s home, including a new roof, gutters, fascia, soffit, concrete driveway, and landscaping improvements. 

    Aging in Place Program
    With the rising trend of residents aging in place in Canton, Habitat for Humanity’s repair work is crucial. The Aging in Place program focuses on ensuring that the elderly have safe and accessible homes, thereby enhancing their quality of life. This program provides essential repairs and modifications, promoting better mental and physical health and enabling residents like Charlotte to comfortably age in their homes.
