ATLANTA – December 20, 2025 –Our House, Inc. is honored to receive an all-electric Mercedes-Benz eSprinter van on behalf of Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA). MBUSA’s “12 Days of Christmas” initiative brings together Mercedes-Benz brand ambassadors, who will partner alongside MBUSA to give the gift of sustainable, reliable transportation to Our House and additional organizations making a difference in their communities.

Our House will utilize the eSprinter to expand Our House Health, which delivers free, comprehensive healthcare to families experiencing homelessness and those with low incomes who don’t have insurance. The fully electric van will be used as a mobile health hub, reaching families living outside, in shelters, extended-stay motels and other temporary housing across metro Atlanta so that parents and children can access care where they are, at no cost.

This investment comes at a critical time for Atlanta families. According to the 2024 Point-in-Time Count, nearly 2,900 people were experiencing homelessness in Atlanta on a single night, a seven percent increase from the previous year. Atlanta families experiencing homelessness saw an even sharper rise, with a 14 percent increase, highlighting a troubling shift for parents and children.

For families already facing housing instability, untreated health needs can push them even deeper into crisis. Parents experiencing homelessness face higher rates of chronic illness, stress, and depression, while their children are more likely to struggle with asthma, missed vaccinations, and developmental delays. By bringing primary care, preventive screenings, vaccinations, and mental health support directly to families, Our House Health will help parents stay healthy enough to work, keep kids in school, and reduce avoidable emergency room visits.

“This gift from Mercedes-Benz USA will change what is possible for the families we serve,” said Tyese Lawyer, Chief Executive Officer of Our House. “By the time parents arrive at Our House, they are often choosing between medical care, transportation, childcare and simply keeping their children safe and sheltered. With the eSprinter, our team can bring free, high-quality healthcare directly to families in shelters and other temporary housing, removing transportation barriers and helping prevent health needs from becoming yet another setback on their path forward. We are deeply grateful to Mercedes-Benz USA for standing with Atlanta families and investing in their long-term stability.”

“Mercedes-Benz USA is proud to celebrate this holiday season together with our incredible brand ambassadors through our most ambitious ‘Holidays with Love’ activation yet,” said Jee-Seop Kim, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Vans USA. “The versatile, all-electric eSprinter is a true workhorse and the perfect tool to help empower and more sustainably mobilize the highly deserving non-profits across the country selected by our ambassadors so they can keep up the crucial work they do serving the communities where they operate.”
