Hope for Atlanta Veterans Experiencing Homelessness

Veterans are more likely to experience homelessness than the general population. We’re proud to work with Veteran clients to ensure our heroes have a place to call home.

We are one of Georgia’s largest Veteran housing assistance programs, serving Veterans and their families across 30 counties and the City of Atlanta. 

How We Help Veterans

Working with our community partners, our Veteran team provides homelessness intervention services and support across 30 counties plus the City of Atlanta to help Veterans get back on their feet and lead fulfilling, self-sufficient lives.

With affordable housing scarce, we help Veterans navigate a challenging housing market to secure and maintain permanent housing that meets their budget and needs.

  • Homeless outreach
  • 1-1 case management
  • Rapid re-housing
  • Eviction prevention
  • Housing location services
  • Referral to other long-term assistance programs such as HUD VASH
  • Landlord engagement & recruitment

Without help, navigating access to VA/SS benefits can be overwhelming. We help connect our Veterans to community partners to assist with their eligibility, advocate on their behalf, and assist with applications so they can receive the benefits they deserve.

  • Referrals to the VA for healthcare and financial services
  • Assist with application for SSI/SSDI

We partner with Atlanta Legal Aid to provide legal services to help Veterans meet basic needs and remove barriers to housing. Our clients include Veterans who: 

  • Have past evictions that make it difficult to secure affordable housing
  • Need legal help navigating healthcare, social security, and disability benefits
  • Are experiencing landlord/tenant challenges

We offer temporary financial assistance with rent and utility payments to help eligible Veterans find housing, stay housed, save money, and focus on building self-sufficiency.

  • Short-term rental and utility assistance
  • Assistance with rental and utility payments and deposits
  • Eviction prevention
  • Shallow Subsidy services

Wraparound services ensure Veterans have access to food, health care, household essentials, and other basic needs as we work with them to build stability and self-sufficiency.

  • Emergency food assistance and monthly collaborative food distribution
  • Referrals for substance use disorder assistance
  • Transportation assistance
  • Furniture & move-in Support
  • Veterans with lived experiences on staff to provide support

We connect Veterans with resources to build resilience so they can live fulfilling, self-sufficient lives.

  • Budgeting & goal planning
  • Financial literacy
  • Referral to workforce development opportunities
