Motel to Home: Working Together to Build a Stronger, More Resilient Greater Atlanta

August 28, 2024

United Way of Greater Atlanta and our corporate partners are making a significant impact on our community by donating hygiene kits to support Motel to Home, an initiative aimed at ending homelessness and transforming lives in Greater Atlanta. These hygiene kits are more than just essential items; they are a critical resource for families and individuals who are experiencing homelessness, providing them with the dignity and care they need during a challenging time. Motel-to-Home operates through a three-step process: outreach, housing, and aftercare. Our housing location specialists work diligently to identify the unique barriers each family faces and match them with affordable housing solutions. Many homeless families and individuals find themselves living in motels as a last resort when they are on the brink of homelessness. These motels, scattered across every county, serve as temporary shelters for those in desperate need.

Through Motel-to-Home, we intervene to provide families with comprehensive case management, assistance with deposits, and follow-up care. Our goal is to leverage their existing strengths and income to help them achieve long-term stability and independence.

The hygiene kits are an essential part of this journey, offering a sense of normalcy and self-worth that can be pivotal in helping individuals take the first steps towards stability. Access to basic hygiene supplies can have a profound impact on a person’s confidence and ability to engage in opportunities that lead to a better life. Motel to Home is a key component of United Way’s broader efforts to enhance the Economic Stability of children, families, and communities across Greater Atlanta. By providing housing solutions and essential resources, we are laying the foundation for a healthier, more prosperous future for all. By addressing the immediate needs of our community and investing in sustainable solutions with our corporate partners, we are working together to build a stronger, more resilient Greater Atlanta.

Join us in this mission to end homelessness and change lives. Together, we can make a difference.
