477 Peachtree Street Successfully transitioned 196 shelter residents into permanent housing

With the transition complete, the building will no longer serve as a shelter

Under the direction of the United Way’s Regional Commission on

Homelessness (RCOH), a transition team comprised of government agencies

and all Atlanta Continuum-of-Care organizations offered permanent housing

options to all residents.

Long-term plans for the building have not been determined

The successful transition for the shelter residents would not have been possible

without significant support from and a number of organizations and homeless

service providers
