#VisionsOfHOPE

Imagine facing #homelessness while struggling with

Imagine facing #homelessness while struggling with a chronic health condition. 💔 Our Special Needs Housing Program assists people living with HIV/AIDs, including housing support and #eviction prevention. Shareath Hill, one of our Special Needs Housing Case Managers, wants clients to know they are not alone.

💬 “A lot of clients say, ‘I have never been in this situation, this is so embarrassing,’” she says. “Nobody’s situation is embarrassing, and you never know when you can fall into one of these situations."

Shareath began her HOPE Atlanta career in communications as the first point of contact for people seeking help. Deeply impacted by their situations and stories, she worked her way to the role of case manager.

Preventing evictions and homelessness means not just providing rent and utility assistance 🏠, but helping clients plan for long-term success. That can include connecting clients with money management resources, SNAP assistance, and employment readiness.

“I sit down with them,” she says. “I’m not just looking at how to get from point A to point B, but from point A to point D. I like to give them goals and set individual plans.”

We want to thank Shareath and our passionate team for not just fighting for our clients, but paving the way for more equitable communities! 🧡

Many of our clients facing #homelessness also expe

Many of our clients facing #homelessness also experience hunger as they’re forced to make difficult choices to cover expenses. We provide clients with access to food and other basic needs (like mental health care) as part of a comprehensive wraparound approach that empowers them to achieve self-sufficiency and thrive.

We are fortunate to witness many clients entering

We are fortunate to witness many clients entering their permanent homes for the first time. It is always just as emotional, and we couldn't be prouder of our client Donald, who moved into his apartment after living on the streets for 13 years. 🧡

This success story is one of many from the collaborative LIFT 2.0 project, where we work alongside @partnersforhome, @gadeptoftrans, and other partners to decommission #Atlanta encampments while transitioning people experiencing #homelessness to stable #housing. 🏠
