‘More entire families becoming homeless’: New program helps households stay together

Homeless couples with children needing emergency shelter soon will have more options to stay together, thanks to a new program at the Salvation Army Center of Hope. The shelter, which previously accepted only women and children, has added rooms for entire families, including fathers. A two-year, $300,00 grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of north Carolina funded renovations at the shelter, program staffing, hotel vouchers and money for up-front housing costs like rent and deposits for families after leaving the shelter.

Charlotte hospitals sign on to Blue Cross plan to curb rising medical costs

Almost a year after Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina teamed up with five N.C. health systems to curb medical cost increases, the insurer announced this week that Charlotte’s two major health care systems have joined the plan. With the addition of Atrium Health and Novant Health, the program, called Blue Premier, will be working with seven of the state’s largest health systems starting next year.
