Focused Community Strategies

FCS believes lasting neighborhood transformation happens through partnership, proximity, and long-term commitment.
Focused Community Strategies (FCS) is a place-based community development organization based in Southeast Atlanta. We believe neighborhoods matter profoundly.
Since 1978, we’ve partnered with neighbors, donors, and institutions to help communities thrive through long-term, place-based investment. Throughout our history, we have worked in neighborhoods across Southeast Atlanta, including Summerhill, Ormewood Park, East Lake, and Grant Park. Currently, FCS is rooted in Historic South Atlanta and, most recently, Thomasville Heights.
We bring together neighbors, partners, and donors to help reverse the systems that have held communities back. We work with neighborhoods to create sustainable, lasting change in housing stability, economic opportunity, education pathways, and community wellness. FCS has a track record of building strong relationships, aligning resources, and staying present long enough to see lasting change.
We believe lasting neighborhood transformation happens through partnership, proximity, and long-term commitment. By aligning neighbors, organizations, schools, churches, businesses, and funders around shared goals, we help create communities where families can stay rooted, grow stronger, and thrive across generations.
