GOAL500

WE’VE SHOT PAST THE HALFWAY POINT!

88 Veterans Housed so far in 2016

154 Individuals from Families with Kids Housed in 2016

Your donations are wisely used to end homelessness

right here in our city.

“The most rewarding experience in working with Open Doors was helping a homeless

veteran re-unite with his daughter, after separation when sleeping under a bridge. With only two phone calls we found a safe

home for both of them. Good deeds and good business aren’t mutually exclusive, as Open

Doors so ably demonstrates,” Tim Solomon, CFLane

“The Open Doors program helps us educate veterans on where they can go for housing . . . and who will accept them in spite of their

barriers,” Decatur Housing Authority

With endless dedication to the cause of homelessness, our provider partners, like the

Housing Authority of the City of Decatur, work to improve the lives of Atlanta’s most marginalized

people.
