A
We
come
in
contact
with
with
so
many
people
during
our
day,
working
as
a
city
employee,
being
asked
questions
by
just
anyone
on
the
street
that
needs
direction
or
is
asking
the
question.
I'm
Charles
hits
pen
I
work
with
the
City
of
Charlotte
neighborhood
business
services,
Housing
Services,
as
a
rehab
specialist
and
I
work
for
the
City
of
Charlotte
for
28
years.
We
as
rehab
specialists
mostly
help
the
elderly,
the
disabled
and
our
veterans
and
keeping
them
in
place,
keeping
them
in
their
homes.
A
He
rehab
the
houses,
put
new
roofs
on
put
new
furnaces
in
the
house,
look
for
lead-based
pain
and
asbestos
and
those
sorts
of
things.
So
we
take
the
federal
grant
money
match
it
up
with
the
deserving
homeowner
and
apply
that
money
towards
their
own.
What
I
like
most
about
the
job
is
the
entire
job
really
to
see
the
folks
that
get
the
federal
grant
money
are
deserving
people
and
so
the
work
that
we
can
do
on
the
homes
and
to
see
a
success
story
afterwards.
That's
the
best
part.
