Every person deserves to have HOPE.
120 Years of HOPE
for Atlanta
Founded in the early 1900s, HOPE Atlanta is the Metro’s most established agency dedicated to fighting homelessness. While times have changed, our approach has remained steadfast: to end homelessness, one individual at a time.
Recognizing an increased need for hunger relief and bold action amid COVID-19 and its economic fallout, Action Ministries joined HOPE Atlanta in 2021. Together, we’re building a comprehensive program to address growing homelessness and hunger needs.

Our Housing & Hunger Programs
A comprehensive approach to interrelated issues
Housing
Stable housing is paramount to a person’s ability to thrive. Yet, housing is unaffordable and out of reach for many Georgians. We work with individuals and families to prevent evictions, secure temporary and permanent housing solutions, and address the underlying causes of homelessness.
Hunger
Georgia has the 10th highest food insecurity rate in the country. Sadly, 1 in 5 children struggles with hunger. Our meal distribution systems, food pantries, community kitchen and children’s programs are tailored to the communities we serve.
