Hope House
Hope House is a transitional housing community in downtown Atlanta constructed for 70 men who are homeless and have substance abuse addictions. This was one of the seven high priority projects of Mayor Shirley Franklin’s Commission on Homelessness. Hope House offers shared bedrooms and bathrooms, individual bedrooms, a common dining area, central courtyard, multipurpose room and several living room areas. It was designed in collaboration with support services and management staff in order to create a balance between individual privacy and community interaction. CaringWorks provides on-site evening and weekend support services such as support groups, case management, and life skills training, as well as meals for the residents, to provide an intensive recovery program to prepare them for independent living.

The development’s financing is a model of combining public and private resources to achieve a highly important civic goal. The property received funds from HUD Supportive Housing Program, DCA Trust Fund for the Homeless, City of Atlanta CDBG and HOPWA, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, Coca Cola Company, Tull Foundation, and other private foundations.

Hope House offers a realistic and feasible strategy to assist homeless men in obtaining steady employment, preparing for permanent housing, developing positive family relationships and pursuing their long-term goals.
