Explanation
§ North Carolina General Statute Section 160A-280 authorizes the donation of personal property from a city to a non-profit organization upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council.
§ Roof Above Inc., a nonprofit organization incorporated by the State of North Carolina and recognized by the U.S. Department of Treasury as a 501(c)(3) entity under the Internal Revenue Code, has requested two surplus vans to transport unhoused clients to services and community resources.
§ Roof Above Inc. is a comprehensive homeless service provider serving 1,200 people per day through a variety of services ranging from street outreach, day services, emergency shelter, and permanent supportive housing.
§ The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) has identified one van purchased in 2009 and one in 2011, financed, in whole or part, with FTA funds, that have reached the end of their useful service life, are each valued at less than $5,000, and are no longer needed.
§ Roof Above would accept the donated vans “as is”, without warranty.
