The Atlanta City Council has approved a $1,000,000 donation to HOPE Atlanta, a nonprofit dedicated to homelessness prevention, housing assistance, and hunger relief. The funds will be distributed over three years in equal installments of $333,333.33, supporting case management, emergency shelters, and permanent housing solutions. HOPE Atlanta, which has served the community since 1900, provides specialized programs for veterans and individuals with HIV/AIDS. The resolution allows the Mayor’s Office to enter into agreements to facilitate the donation and requires approval from the City Attorney before execution.
This decision reflects Atlanta’s commitment to addressing homelessness and displacement by funding essential services. HOPE Atlanta’s programs will help thousands of at-risk individuals secure housing, food, and mental health support.
