477 Peachtree Street Successfully transitioned 196 shelter residents into permanent housing
With the transition complete, the building will no longer serve as a shelter
Under the direction of the United Way’s Regional Commission on
Homelessness (RCOH), a transition team comprised of government agencies
and all Atlanta Continuum-of-Care organizations offered permanent housing
options to all residents.
Long-term plans for the building have not been determined
The successful transition for the shelter residents would not have been possible
without significant support from and a number of organizations and homeless
service providers
