Supporting people experiencing homelessness in DeKalb County by providing rapid rehousing, and partnering with community and government groups to provide emergency shelter and to advocate for more affordable housing.
Safe, affordable, and stable housing that is easily attainable for everyone in DeKalb County.
It began as an exploratory series of meetings convened by Rob Johnson and Shelly Fine, DeKalb professionals with long experience serving unhoused individuals. They saw an urgent need to engage the wider community to expand basic services to people experiencing homelessness. Rob and Shelly gathered a group of community leaders to assess the current status of homeless services, identify noticeable gaps, and make plans.
After nine months of study and consultation, the group expanded and re-branded itself as A Home For Everyone In DeKalb: A Collaborative Initiative on Homelessness with the goal of educating, engaging, and empowering a wider group of organizations and individuals to help people experiencing homelessness in our county. AHFEID' would focus on the key area of limited housing.
We launched a Winter Freeze/Cold Weather Shelter initiative. Beginning in January 2019, AHFEID opened two cold weather shelters, at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church and North Decatur Presbyterian Church. We developed a shelter manual, organized fundraising, supplied the shelters, recruited volunteers, and played the coordinating role that allowed the shelters to run efficiently.

After escaping abuse and nearly losing her home when a housing program abruptly ended, Tonia fought through months of stress, sleepless nights, and dead ends trying to keep a roof over her family. A Home For Everyone In DeKalb stepped in, covering her deposit and preventing her and her grandson from becoming homeless. Today, Tonia says the support she received “literally saved us.” Read her story on our website (see link in bio).

Felicia wanted a fresh start after leaving her abusive husband. She needed help to pay the deposit to get into a new apartment but finding help wasn't easy. Check out her story.

Finding help shouldn’t be confusing or overwhelming.

This story from GPB News introduces the latest project in Atlanta’s Rapid Rehousing initiatives. “On Wednesday Atlanta officially opened its latest rapid rehousing development for the city’s homeless residents. Speakers at the event included Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Chief of Staff Courtney English, Deputy Chief Housing Officer Chatiqua Ellison, and Partners for HOME CEO Cathryn Vassell. The Waterworks village includes two buildings made of shipping containers with three floors of studio apartments. The project was a collaboration with Atlanta Watershed to develop underused property near the Atlanta City Water Works Reservoir. All 100 units are wheelchair accessible and include a restroom and full-size refrigerator. A third of the units will also have access to on-site medical care through Project HEAL (Homeless Empowerment through Accessible Living). It’s a collaboration with six Atlanta area hospitals.” #homeless #homelessness #homelessawareness #compassion @cityofdecaturga @cityofatlantaga @andreforatlanta @partnersforhome @gpbmedia @atlantica_properties @invest_atlanta
