Our House

Shelter and Healthcare to Live.
Education to Thrive.

Our programs are designed to enrich the lives of children and families experiencing homelessness with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to end the cycle of homelessness and poverty.

The research is definitive: The years between birth and age 5 set the stage for a child’s ability to become a healthy, independent adult. By mitigating the effects of homelessness on young children and closing the developmental gap between them and their housed peers, we are tackling homelessness at its source.

The cornerstone of our Housing Services program is our shelter for homeless families with children 5 years or younger. Located in the City of Atlanta, the shelter provides homeless families with up to six months of housing in a safe and caring environment.

A Nursing Model – The nursing model places individuals, families, and communities at the center of care delivery. Along with a shared-decision making approach, we provide low-barrier, equitable care for all that empowers our patients and strengthens our communities.

Overcoming homelessness is almost impossible without stable and adequate employment. Providing individuals experiencing homelessness with job training skills and resources they need to secure and sustain employment is critical to helping adults break the cycle of homelessness.

Families enrolled in each of our core programs – Early Childhood Education, Housing Services, or Employment Training Services – receive individualized case management through our Family Support Services program. Each family is assigned a Family Advocate, who offers the support and resources needed to gain financial stability and permanent housing.
