Westside Future Fund

Key research indicates that thriving communities excel along seven dimensions. Our work is focused on four: quality mixed-use housing and income, safety and security, cradle to career education, and community health and wellness.mixed-income communities: the Westside's neighborhoods' rich history lives within its residents. To restore the strength of these historic neighborhoods, we must ensure that current residents are able to stay here for generations to come. This will be possible through quality mixed-income housing, which helps to support families, nurture community, stimulate local businesses and attract new residents.

Safety & security: a strong community starts with residents feeling safe. Neighborhoods thrive when residents can walk to school, work, parks or stores and when they know and trust those who protect and serve them.community health & wellness: the connection between a community's economic health and the health of its residents has been proven time and time again. By providing access to wellness facilities and quality parks and greenspace in Westside neighborhoods, residents can get and stay healthier.

Cradle to career education: to truly transform the Westside neighborhoods and ensure atlanta remains competitive as a source of talent for years to come, we must prepare the next generation of atlantans for a brighter Future that all starts with access to high-quality education as well as support for current residents through services such as skills assessments, training and job readiness preparation. To ensure that each child benefits from cradle-to-career education, we have partnered with hollis academy, an atlanta public school, to double the number of teachers in its stem focused curriculum.
