Our House

Our House provides shelter, rapid rehousing, early childhood education, case management, job training, and healthcare to families who are low income and/or experiencing homelessness. Together, these programs address the root causes of homelessness by providing access to the tools, resources, and support that families need to thrive. During fy23 (july 1, 2022 - june 30, 2023), Our House served more than 3,200 children and adults experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Through Our human services, Our House served 250 families from communities across the atlanta area in fy23, with 33% residing in dekalb county and 43% in fulton county (includes city of atlanta) at point of entry. 96% of families served were headed by single mothers, and 90% of family members served identified as black. Families served shared the following risk factors: unemployment, low education/job skills, and limited networks of social support. We served approximately 130,000 meals to the children in Our programs last year. In july of 2022, Our House began providing comprehensive community healthcare for children and adults experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This recent addition to Our interrelated programming addresses an organizational goal to deepen services for families. During fy23, Our healthcare program served 2,505 patients over 5,027 clinic visits. Of clinic patients served, 57% were experiencing homelessness, 60% were without reliable transportation, and 76% were without health insurance.
