THE LEGACY OF HOPE ATLANTAIn March 1900, a group of visionary women from several of H OUSINGAtlanta’s largest church congregations came together witha single goal – help the women, children and elderly who O UTREACHcome to Atlanta without means, without a home, withoutfamily to help guide them. These passionate women P REVENTIONsaw a need in the community to support those driftingindividuals who could benefit from a trusted helping hand. E MERGENCYAnd so began the story of the Atlanta Women’s MissionaryAssociation, known today as HOPE Atlanta. SERVICESDuring their early years, the Atlanta Women’s Missionary OUR MISSIONAssociation would undergo a series of significant changes PROVIDE Ato meet the growing changes and needs of those theyserved. In the early 1900s throngs of newcomers were COMPREHENSIVEarriving looking for opportunity as Atlanta transitioned from APPROACH TO ADDRESSa small, two-horse agricultural town to a thriving industrialmetropolis. These arrivals inspired the Atlanta Women’s HOMELESSNESS ANDMissionary Association to change their name to the SOLUTIONS THATTraveler’s Aid Association. PROMOTEAs World War I brought a new population of travelers to LIFELONG STABILITYAtlanta, Traveler’s Aid expanded it services by openingup lounges at the train station for servicemen and theirfamilies passing through. Later in the early 1920s, Traveler’sAid recognized the role they could play in Atlanta’scontinued struggle with race relations by becoming the firstnonsectarian nonprofit to integrate its staff in the cityof Atlanta.The adaptation of Traveler’s Aid continues today. Nowknown as HOPE Atlanta, the organization embracesand welcomes those individuals and families in direcircumstances. Their needs are addressed holistically tobetter understand how they got there and to prevent apotential experience with or return to homelessness. Byaddressing the root causes of homelessness, HOPE Atlantaoffers a hand up to lifelong stability.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES SAMUEL WARE Released after a 30-years in prison, Samuel ended up on the streets with nowhere to go. At the urging of his parole officer, he made contact with Case Managers at Hope Atlanta. We were able to move him into temporary housing at Hope House, a transitional facility. He next obtained documents needed for proof of identification that would be vital before his next move toward permanent housing could begin. The effort to find Samuel permanent housing was exhaustive. Eventually, the process proved fruitful. Samuel now has a place he can call home. “I’d like to go back to Hope Atlanta now just to see them and shake hands with everybody and let them know I really appreciate what they did for me.” CHOKEL WILLIAMS As a result of the housing market collapse and a car accident that rendered him unable to work, Chokel and his blended family of 11 found themselves living in a family shelter. Referred to HOPE Atlanta, Chokel’s life changed. His fiance was able to enroll in school and he found to a great job at a construction company. They now have their own home and stable income. Due to his dynamic story and commitment to HOPE Atlanta, Chokel is now on the HOPE Atlanta Board of Directors in 2016. “As a soldier, a father, an almost husband and a member of this community, my loyalty is with HOPE Atlanta and I am so proud to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. “

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIESBENJAMIN GRAHAM Ben was homeless, living in his car, and struggling with addiction. He continued to work hard, but would spend all the money on drugs. He tried different drug rehabilitation programs and centers but when each time he’d start using again and had to move out. Ben’s first glimmer of hope came whe our PATH outreach team met him under a bridge. He attempted a drug rehabilitation program again and failed. In spite of that failure, our PATH team would not give up on him and gained his trust. Then, our counselors wrapped an individualized plan around him that would lift him out of homelessness, drug addiction and pain permanently. He was set on a path to become the successful businessman he is today. Ben now owns a small convenience store just blocks away from where the HOPE PATH outreach team found him sleeping under the freeway.“Thanks to HOPE Atlanta I’m sober, I finished school and I’m backon Auburn Avenue…this time, as a proud business owner, and apart of the progress being made here.”
