Mission

Founded in 1900 as part of the Travelers Aid Movement, HOPE Atlanta is one of the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive providers of housing services to low-income, vulnerable people in the greater Atlanta area. As part of the organization’s mission to prevent and end homelessness by empowering clients to achieve stability and self-sufficiency, HOPE Atlanta offers prevention services, street outreach, emergency shelter solutions, rapid re-housing and permanent supportive housing with specialized programs dedicated to helping veterans and those who are HIV+ or living with AIDS. In 2021, HOPE Atlanta combined programs, services, and operations with Action Ministries, a similar metro-Atlanta based organization with large scale hunger programs. Today, the combined organization serves approximately 7,500 people annually and provides more than one-half million pounds of food assistance as it works to assist those who are living in subsistence to move to stability and self-sufficiency.
