Verse for today
"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives."

Lord Jesus, thank You that You came for the brokenhearted and the captive — and that includes me. I receive Your good news, Your healing, and the freedom You came to give. Set me free today. Amen.

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."
