What We Do
Nicholas House Housing
Nicholas House provides four housing programs along with supportive services to meet the various levels of need that homeless families in Atlanta face. In all four of our housing models, we provide case management and goal-setting guidance. This comes with a strong emphasis on accountability. Moreover, we work with each participant to address the root causes of homelessness through programs that help with employment, money management, family skills. Additionally, our housing programs include:
Boulevard Shelter: Our emergency shelter, located in Grant Park, is for homeless families without income needing a place to stabilize and gain employment.
Homeless to Homes (H2H): Is an apartment-based rapid rehousing program for homeless families with some income but not enough to pay full rent.
Home Again: This is a rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention program for homeless families with enough income to pay rent but who need initial help.
New Horizons: Is a permanent supportive housing program for chronically homeless families with no income and additional barriers in the form of a disability.
Nicholas House Programs
Adult Education and Training:
Our Adult Education and Training programs help families create a new future. We define goals and provide educational training and support to make their dreams a reality.
Youth Services Program:
Furthermore, 70% of the homeless people housed by Nicholas House are children. Just like adults, each child receives specific program attention to address their unique needs. We evaluate each child’s academic, physical, social, and emotional well-being. Nicholas House staff work with parents and children to develop programs that address their needs.
The Youth Services program includes an After-School Program, evening activity hours, and free summer camp. The focus of our Youth Services Programs is on establishing educational and lifelong personal skills that will create a healthy, productive, and self-sufficient adult.
