What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

In Atlanta, housing prices have risen more than twice as fast as incomes. As a result, the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s annual “Out of Reach” study finds that a minimum wage worker in Georgia would have to work 116 hours/week, earning $43,618, to be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment. According to the coalition, only about 10% of all of Atlanta’s apartments are affordable to low-income workers. The shortage of affordable housing results in an excessive cost burden of housing for low-income workers. This means that the costs of housing (including utilities) are more than 30% of a family’s take-home pay. To pay these costs, workers are often forced to go without other necessities. Using a Housing First Model, the overall goal of HOPE Atlanta is to assist those who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness and living in subsistence to move to stability and self-sufficiency.

Outreach

The Outreach Program assists unsheltered people by engaging them where they are, ensuring they have access to any treatment they need for physical or mental illnesses like substance use disorder, and placing them in housing coupled with case management. The team builds trust by repeatedly talking with people sleeping on the streets, in parks, and in other places not meant for human habitation and inviting them to enroll in HOPE Atlanta’s housing programs. In particular, the program targets the chronically homeless and those suffering from severe mental illness in Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Hall Counties.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

HOPE Atlanta aims to prevent and end homelessness and hunger in Georgia by providing support and services to allow people to move toward economic stability. Through outreach programs throughout the city, we engage people experiencing homelessness where they are. We follow the evidence-based Housing First practice, recognizing that safe and stable housing is a fundamental need of all we serve. We aim to help those we serve through food distribution programs so that low-income Georgians are not forced to choose between their housing and hunger needs.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

HOPE Atlanta's Strategic Plan for the next five years identifies 4 strategies for accomplishing our mission of preventing and ending homelessness:

I. The HOPE Atlanta Way: We will serve as a seamless bridge to self-sufficiency for our clients by ensuring basic needs are met; assisting clients to navigate community resources to build their resiliency; and investing in HOPE’s capacity as a behavioral healthcare provider, developing in-house behavioral health services for those we serve.

II. Place-Based Transformation: We will implement neighborhood and site focused initiatives that harness local assets, insights, and partnerships to promote economic mobility and self-sufficiency for those experiencing housing insecurity.

III. People-Focused: We will champion a culture where clients progress from survival to self-sufficiency and team members achieve balanced well-being, reflecting our unwavering commitment to the holistic growth of our community.

IV. Operational Excellence: Through a steadfast commitment to continuous improvement, harnessing best practices, and adopting innovative approaches to ensure sustained organizational impact, we will set the standard for operational excellence.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

HOPE Atlanta has assisted over one million individuals since 1900. HOPE Atlanta is the oldest and longest serving homelessness program in the Atlanta area. The staff has a tremendous amount of experience in this field, and some members are former clients who can relate to current clients, contributing lived experience.

The organization works in and through the Atlanta, Fulton County, and Dekalb County Continuums of Care. In addition, through the "Balance of State" Continuum of Care, HOPE Atlanta serves the people of Gwinnett County as well. Our Special Needs Housing Program and our Veterans Services programs serve a broader geographic footprint, extending support to more than two dozen counties surrounding Atlanta.

In recognition of the agency's expertise, HOPE receives funding from local, state, and federal government agencies and a variety of private sources.

The organization distinguishes itself among the crowded field of homelessness service providers through its accreditation by CARF International, an independent review body. The CARF accreditation signifies HOPE Atlanta’s adherence to a specific set of best practices in service delivery and business processes that demonstrate a commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

As one of the oldest and most respected social service agencies in metro Atlanta, HOPE Atlanta has assisted over one million individuals since 1900.

The organization is a leader in providing services to the area's veterans. In 1941, the Travelers Aid movement with which the organization was affiliated accepted the call of President Franklin Roosevelt to assist troops in transit, thus becoming part of the original United Service Organization (U.S.O.). Honoring those roots, the organization continues to work closely with the Veterans Administration and to serve a large number of veterans annually. Further, HOPE Atlanta also signed on to President Obama's initiative to end veteran homelessness nationwide and helped make Atlanta one of the first cities to achieve the initiative's goals.

Through street outreach teams that ride the MARTA rails, go into the Hartsfield International Airport, and visit city encampments, the organization has significantly contributed to reducing the number of people experiencing chronic homelessness in the metro area as well.

HOPE will continue to support people experiencing and at risk of homelessness through outreach and housing coupled with best-in-class intensive case management until the vision of transforming lives and communities by ending homelessness is realized.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
