Stable housing

WITH. One word that reflects the heart of everything we do at City of Refuge. Inspired by 1 Samuel 26:6, WITH reminds us that lasting transformation doesn’t happen from a distance. It happens when we show up and walk alongside one another. Through crisis and toward stability. Through learning new skills, finding meaningful employment, securing housing, and building a brighter future. Because transformation is not just about where someone ends up. It’s about who walks with them along the way. Thank you for walking with us in this mission. Whether you give, volunteer, partner, or simply share our story, you are helping bring light, hope, and lasting transformation to individuals and families in our community. We couldn’t do this without you! 🧡

Closing out Q3! 🧡 From the start of school and new beginnings to individuals finding stable housing, securing employment, and taking steps toward brighter futures, we had so much to celebrate this quarter! Thank you for being part of the transformation happening every day at City of Refuge. Visit the link in our bio to explore our full Q3 Impact Report, including inspiring stories of hope, resilience, and transformation!

This week is Diaper Need Awareness Week, and at City Kids Preschool, we know just how essential something as simple as a clean diaper can be. 🧷🍼🧡 For families working toward stability, having these essentials means one less expense to worry about while they focus on employment, job training, stable housing, and their next steps forward. With 1 in 2 U.S. families struggling to afford enough diapers, your generosity can help lift that burden. In honor of Diaper Need Awareness Week, help us stock City Kids Preschool with diapers and wipes and care for our littlest learners and the families who love them. Donate through the link in our bio to help stock our classrooms! #diaperneedawarenessweek #cityofrefugeatl

Yesterday, we celebrated an incredible milestone as women from our Eden Village housing program graduated and stepped into their next chapter! 🎓🧡 This moment represents so much more than a graduation—it reflects months of hard work, perseverance, growth, and courageous steps toward stability and independence. We are incredibly proud of each of these women and honored to have walked alongside them on their journeys. Join us in celebrating all they have accomplished and all that lies ahead! ✨

Today, City of Refuge celebrated the ribbon cutting at “The 1343,” our new 37,000-square-foot Transformation Center, marking a significant step forward in revitalizing the 30314 community. This three-story facility will expand access to critical resources, including 25 units of affordable housing, a fresh market, mental health clinic, community bank, and an entrepreneurship and business incubation hub. We were honored to welcome Atlanta Mayor @andreforatlanta to lead the ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside community leaders, partners, and supporters. This project represents the power of collaboration and a shared commitment to creating pathways to stability, opportunity, and long-term transformation. We extend our sincere gratitude to our partners and supporters, including @chickfila, @invest_atlanta, @genuine.parts.company, @delta, @truist, @ga_power, @peachstatehp, @cfgreateratlanta, @deltacommunity, @fhlbankatlanta, and the Chesnut Family Foundation, along with the many individuals and foundations whose generosity made this milestone possible. Thank you to City of Refuge leadership, our Board of Directors, and Capital Campaign Committee for their vision and stewardship. Today is an exciting day — and a powerful step forward for our community.
