Our vision is to permanently transform lives and communities by ending homelessness.
About us
HOPE Atlanta is one of Georgia’s longest-standing nonprofit agencies dedicated to ending homelessness and hunger in our communities. With special programs for veterans, people living with HIV/AIDS, food-insecure people and families, and people at-risk of becoming homeless, we apply a holistic 1-1 approach to help clients secure the housing and resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency and thrive. We’re working to end long-standing misconceptions about poverty, hunger, and homelessness, elevating our clients’ voices and stories to bring increased attention and urgency to interconnected (and alarmingly widespread) issues of housing insecurity, hunger, and racial injustice. Will you join us?

Imagine being homeless and facing fines or jail just for falling asleep.💔 We believe being unhoused isn’t criminal—our unjust system is. Agree? Help us protect “freedom and justice for all” by assisting our unsheltered neighbors with compassionate, humane solutions. Visit hopeatlanta.org to make your gift today. cc: Julio Carrillo

In the wake of the #SCOTUS Johnson v. Grants Pass decision allowing the criminalization of #homelessness, we expect an influx of people seeking refuge in #Atlanta. Our Chief Development Officer, Kellie Glenn, spoke to Atlanta News First about the ruling’s implications. Our commitment to meaningful solutions like housing, case management, behavioral health care, and outreach remains unwavering. Help us assist our unsheltered neighbors with the compassion they deserve. Give now at hopeatlanta.org. cc: Julio Carrillo

Being homeless is not a crime. No one should be punished for sleeping outside, especially when they have nowhere else to lay their head. Our unsheltered neighbors need housing, not handcuffs, and more policing only worsens the systemic inequality plaguing our communities. Despite the Supreme Court’s deeply upsetting ruling, we remain committed to assisting neighbors experiencing homelessness with individualized services that help them permanently overcome their circumstances. #Atlanta, let’s show the nation that compassion, innovation, and collaboration are the only ways to meaningfully address the #homelessness crisis. Visit hopeatlanta.org to learn how to get involved and make a difference.
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a disappointing ruling stating that the U.S. Constitution does not protect people experiencing homelessness from cruel and unusual punishment. Arresting or fining individuals for homelessness is inhumane, expensive, and fails to address the root causes of the issue. Our outreach teams play a crucial role in our strategy, working tirelessly to reduce the criminalization of homelessness. By fostering personal relationships with our neighbors and building trust, our teams become vital resources for the community. As one of the largest outreach teams in Atlanta, we remain committed to collaborating with our partners and law enforcement to mitigate the impact of this ruling on the most vulnerable in our community. https://lnkd.in/e7zbw2Cp #Homelessness #CommunitySupport #Outreach #HumanRights #Atlanta
