WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
BECOME A MEMBER
The Atlanta CoC is made up of over 100 service providers and stakeholders throughout the City of Atlanta. The CoC’s Governing Council was chartered by the City of Atlanta with approvals sanctioned by the membership in accordance with all applicable laws. All organizations fighting homelessness in the City of Atlanta are a part of the Atlanta CoC.

LANDLORDS
The Atlanta CoC partners with landlords and property managers to make rental units available to individuals and families impacted by homelessness. Through Open Doors, owners and managers can designate their property for households in need — helping to end homelessness in the City of Atlanta and putting households on the path to self-sufficiency. Open Doors is a program sponsored by the Atlanta Real Estate Collaborative, Enterprise Community Partners and Project Community Connections, Inc.
SUPPORT
At Partners for HOME, we challenge the community to think differently about ending homelessness in Atlanta. Support from the community helps Partners for HOME to align collective resources across the city and use strategic planning to identify unmet needs and help households find the path to home. To discuss a cash or in-kind donation to Partners for HOME, contact Summer Duperon, vice president of development and communications.
Donations are eligible for tax-deduction.
VOLUNTEER
The Atlanta CoC conducts the Point In Time (PIT) Homeless Count annually in January. The Count is crucial for tracking the success of local efforts to end homelessness in Atlanta and essential for planning future efforts. Each year approximately 300 volunteers spend one week conducting surveys and gathering data. In addition to volunteers, we rely on assistance from homeless service providers to serve as Team Leaders.
We have modified our PIT Count needs due to the pandemic.
