Charles Johnson teams with ex-NBA stars on affordable housing initiative

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Basketball junky Charles Johnson isn't ready to go one-on-one with Kevin Garnett or Devean George, but the Carolina Panthers defensive end has formed a partnership with the former NBA stars.

Earlier this week, Johnson, Garnett and George cut the ribbon on a new affordable housing project in Columbia, South Carolina.

The Village at River's Edge project will provide families in need with an affordable and safe place to live.

"Once you see families moving in with their kids ... now they have a place to provide for their kids and make them focus on different things like school and work," Johnson said.
