Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to coordinate a comprehensive response system to end homelessness in the City of Atlanta. Its 2023–2028 strategic priorities are reducing unsheltered homelessness; preventing, rapidly exiting, and diverting families and youth from homelessness; providing housing and support services for veterans; and preventing returns to homelessness.
Its funding supports interventions and resources addressing homelessness in Atlanta. The 2025 filing lists grants for rental assistance, outreach, coordinated entry, case management, crisis response and housing navigation, permanent supportive housing services, property management, and family permanent supportive housing. Among its grantees, SafeHouse Outreach describes its mission as helping people experiencing extreme poverty toward independent living, and Nicholas House describes its mission as helping families experiencing homelessness become self-sufficient through stable housing and support. Open Doors Solutions says it connects nonprofits serving people exiting homelessness with property owners. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
