Impact
Atlanta Habitat enables individuals and families to thrive by taking a comprehensive, targeted neighborhood revitalization approach. We are engaged in key conversations about affordable homeownership policy both locally and nationally.
Our Impact
Since 1983, Atlanta Habitat has worked with more than 6,000 family members to achieve the dream of affordable homeownership. Our first-time homebuyer program, critical home repair (Repair with Kindness) and paint services (Brush with Kindness), homeowner education, and financial coaching programs are vital parts of our mission.
Our Vision: Create opportunities to transform lives.
Our Mission: Community-built, sustainable homeownership.
