Our Mission
HomeAid Atlanta's mission is to build new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach.
HomeAid Atlanta builds and renovates facilities for organizations serving Atlanta's homeless population. Past projects include transitional housing facilities, a free-of-charge health clinic for the homeless, one teen center, and many more, with additional projects currently in development. The result—more than 750 homeless people are provided housing each year in metro Atlanta through HomeAid Atlanta-built housing facilities.

Our Impact
about 7 years ago — Direction House, Decatur GA
On April 20, HomeAid Atlanta partnered with the Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia’s (MBAG) Atlanta Chapter for a HomeAid Care Day. HomeAid Care Days are “done in a day” workdays providing free-of-charge maintenance and repairs for nonprofit organizations serving people experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. Volunteers completed much needed landscaping and gardening tasks at Direction House, including building and planting two raised garden beds, clearing out overgrown bamboo, rebuilding a broken fence, removing a tree stump, planting two flower gardens, and general clean-up. The workday generated a savings of approximately $4,500 for Direction House, funds that will be used to help meet the immediate needs of the residents. "I enjoyed and appreciate the work performed at the HomeAid Care Day at Direction House. The guests at the house are excited about the flowers and they are anxiously waiting for the garden to produce. I certainly appreciate all that you do," said Graylin Covington, Founder and Director of Direction House. This was HomeAid’s second Care Day with MBAG. Following this Care Day, Alexandra Radford, MBAG Atlanta Chapter Director said, "I love being a part of HomeAid Care Days. I love physically working on projects and knowing I’m really making a difference in the lives of homeless veterans.”
