About us
The mission of Our House is to end the cycle of homelessness for families. Our House was established in 1988 by concerned community residents who realized that shelter rules required homeless families to leave early each morning and not return until late in the afternoon. This left families with no where to go during the day, and women with no one to care for their children while they attempted to find work or hold down a job. Since its founding, Our House has strategically addressed homelessness in families using a two-pronged approach: first address affordable, quality childcare as a barrier to self sufficiency and second, provide holistic support to families as they move toward independence.

Do you know why we call our campaign #wheels4walls? It’s to bring attention to the thousands of families forced to sleep in their cars, as they have no other place to call home, and no other options for safety and shelter. Vehicle homelessness is higher in places with higher housing costs. Help us support Atlanta families experiencing homelessness. Donate to #wheels4walls and share this post with your friends. https://lnkd.in/eMG869Cd

Did you know? In March 1988, Our House opened its doors to provide reliable, free childcare to metro Atlanta families experiencing homelessness. We continue this work today because we know the years between birth and age 5 are critical for a child’s future success. By offering quality early childhood education, we help close the developmental gap between children experiencing homelessness and their housed peers—addressing homelessness at its roots. This #HeadStartAwarenessMonth, we’re proud to celebrate our impact. Learn more about Our House's early childhood education programs: https://lnkd.in/ePWVAJGr
