About Nicholas House

The average age of a homeless person is 9 years old! Over, 1,100 family members are without shelter in Atlanta every night, over 5,000 in metro Atlanta. Nicholas House’s mission is to help homeless families become self-sufficient by providing them with a temporary place to live while addressing the root causes of their homelessness so that they never become homeless again.

Nicholas House has served over 13,000 homeless family members since its founding in 1982. In 2019, we assisted 568 homeless parents and children from 157 different families on the path to self-sufficiency while keeping their families intact. Nicholas House follows families for up to two years after graduation from Nicholas House programs—as a result, over 90% of clients remain in housing and self-sufficient a year or more after graduation.
