Pastor Moses Colbert of Faith, Hope and Love Community Enrichment Ministries has worked to place trailer homes on church property for homeless individuals. He’s also set up tents that house about 100 people nearby, WCCB Charlotte reports.
His ministry provides meals, counseling, education, and addiction-recovery services.
However, the City of North Carolina said Colbert ignored safety regulations and zoning laws.
Meanwhile, Colbert has said he feels like his ministry is being targeted.
He told city leaders to “stop demonizing this ministry.” He said, “It looks like you’re discriminating against me, but it’s these (unhoused) people bearing the brunt of it.”
