Beds for Kids Executive Director Malcolm Graham, who also is a Charlotte City Council member, says the group tries to help people make empty houses into homes by delivering beds and other furniture.
There's a lot of energy going into expanding affordable housing in Charlotte. But for people moving out of hotels or homelessness, the need doesn't stop there. Furnishing that new place can be a struggle. A Charlotte group called Beds for Kids is celebrating 10 years of fighting what it calls "furniture poverty."
