A partnership that combines Zillow-powered technology and the work of Housing Connector, a non-profit organization, has helped find homes for more than 3,700 people experiencing homelessness, according to Zillow. The program that launched in Seattle in 2019 continues to expand. Charlie Spencer of Redmond is one of the people who has received help. "Even the word homeless didn't fit well with me because I didn't ever think I'd ever be homeless. But I was homeless. And I was sleeping in my car. And I was sad and depressed, crying every day,” said Spencer. That was nearly five years ago. To this day, the words are still hard to say for Charlie Spencer, someone who had achieved so much success early on as a Harlem Globetrotter. "I played probably about a year and a half or so, two years with the Globetrotters,” Spencer said. On the court they called him Magic Charlie, and back then he was front and center, entertaining crowds. He also worked as a motivational speaker. "I would go to high schools and middle schools and halftime NBA games and perform. It was a great time in my life,” said Spencer. "It was difficult when you were traveling around the country in good health and all of sudden you fall out, you hurt your knee and you have issues."
