WSOC-TV: Charlotte is Home Center Offers Support for Families Newly Arriving in the U.S
WSOC-TV featured the work of Sil Ganzó, founder of ourBRIDGE for KIDS, and the development of the Charlotte is Home Center.
Ganzó, who immigrated to the United States and resettled in Charlotte over 20 years ago founded ourBRIDGE for KIDS to support newly arrived immigrant and refugee families. The organization was established to address specific gaps in culturally responsive services, educational support, and community-based resources for children and their families.
In the interview, Ganzó shared: “Yes, we all need affordable housing and healthcare, but there’s a specific way in which immigrants can be better supported.”
The Charlotte is Home Center, shaped through the efforts of ourBRIDGE and its community partners, held its ribbon-cutting in September 2023 and launched softly on October 1. The Center now serves as a hub for immigrant and refugee families to access coordinated services and build a sense of belonging.
