Partners for HOME

Driven by the Atlanta Continuum of Care, led by Partners for Home, our reach goes beyond a housing-first approach. Through The Melody Project, we’ve set up low-cost micro-unit communities to ensure our neighbors stay a part of their neighborhoods. We're proud to have Tanisha Wright, WNBA Champion & Head Coach, standing with us in this effort. Her support highlights the teamwork it takes across our city to end homelessness, proving that together, we can create lasting change for our communities.

Driven by the Atlanta Continuum of Care and led by Partners for Home, we’re building a stronger community—one neighbor at a time. In just the past 5 years, over 12,000 people who once faced homelessness have found safe, stable housing. These life-changing efforts are rooted in collaboration and compassion, and they are a testament to the power of a housing-first approach. But we’re not stopping here. As we continue to make strides, learn more about how you can support this vital work and help ensure that every Atlanta neighbor has a place to call home. https://lnkd.in/eR2_dT_x #HousingFirst #AtlantaCoC #EndHomelessness #PartnersForHome

During Tropical Storm #Helene, when the weather turned severe, our partners stepped up to ensure that those in need were not left to face the storm alone. A huge thank you to Gateway Center, who remained open through the night, offering shelter and refuge to 150 individuals through their Severe Weather Emergency Shelter program. Along with Gateway Center, The Salvation Army's Red Shield Services played a critical role in providing care during this time. Together, with support from the City of Atlanta Mayor's Office, Office of Constituent Services, and the Department of Corrections, our combined efforts helped ensure safety for our neighbors during the storm. We are grateful for the teamwork and dedication shown by these organizations and all others who help make Atlanta a place of refuge in times of need. Our doors will always remain open for our community 💙 #PartnersForHome #AtlantaCares #SevereWeatherResponse #TeamworkInAction
