Matthew Charles finds new home with the help of Kim Kardashian West

Matthew Charles, who made headlines after he was denied an apartment due to his criminal background and bad credit, now has a new place to call his home with the help of Kim Kardashian West.

The 52-year-old former prison inmate has moved into a two-bedroom apartment in Nashville according to the Tennessean.

 Charles told the news outlet, “I’m spending time today unpacking items and building a few things with my buddy,” he said. “I couldn’t have done it without so many peoples’ help.”

One of those people who helped him was Kim K. West, who said she would cover 5 years of rent for Charles after he was released from prison under a prison reform law that was signed by president Donald Trump. In 1996, Charles was sentenced to 35 years in prison for selling crack-cocaine.

Even with the financial help of Kim K., Charles was still denied an apartment and that’s when she took to twitter to ask landlords in Nashville if they could give the former inmate a second chance and it might have worked.
