Our mission

To meet people where they are — and walk with them home.

We believe every person deserves to be seen, met where they are, and gently guided to exactly the help they need — helping one individual at a time. hellohopes is a warm, private, free guide that quietly does the matching: a hand on the shoulder, a phone number, an open door. Whoever you are, whatever you're carrying, you'll find the right resource for this moment — no forms, no judgment, no wrong turns.

01

Private by default

No accounts, no tracking, no data shared. People in crisis deserve dignity, not a profile.

02

Built with, not for

Every screen co-designed with people who have lived it. Clinical jargon, replaced.

03

Always current

A network of community partners keeps shelters, hotlines, and clinics up-to-date in real time.

The need in Atlanta

Real numbers. Real neighbors.

On any given night, thousands of our Atlanta neighbors are without a safe place to sleep — and the unsheltered count is rising fast. These are the realities we're building hellohopes to meet.

"Since 2016, total homelessness in Atlanta is down 30% — proof that coordinated, neighbor-centered response works when we resource it."

Partners for HOME
2024 Point-in-Time Count

"35% of Atlantans experiencing homelessness are over 55, and 33% are chronically homeless. Older adults face the steepest path to stable housing."

Atlanta Continuum of Care
Demographic snapshot, 2024

"46% of unsheltered residents in 2024 had never been in the homeless system before. First-time homelessness is the fastest-growing crisis in our city."
