Nicholas House Inc

Each year Nicholas House provides shelter and services to more than 100 homeless families and nearly 400 people – including nearly 300 children – with one goal in mind: address the root causes of their homelessness and ensure they become permanently self-sufficient. Your contributions make it possible.  

Nicholas House is unique in our focus on homeless families in metro Atlanta:

• We keep families together by accepting any family composition when so often husbands and boys as young as 12 must be separated to men-only shelters.
• Emphasis on personal accountability ensures progress toward goals. We conduct a formal review every 90 days to ensure participants are achieving required benchmarks to stay in the program.
• A strong commitment to positive long-term outcomes includes following families for up to two years after leaving services to ensure sustainable success.

Our program works. The vast majority of our families move on to stable, permanent housing and financial independence.

At last count nearly 70% of Nicholas House families remain fully self sufficient more than a year after leaving our services.
