3Keys Essentials

We recently handed out over 200 hygiene kits to our residents at Welcome House! Located in Downtown Atlanta, Welcome House is one of 3Keys six apartments across the metro that serve more than 500 community members annually on their journey out of homelessness. The kits are donations from @handsonatl Week, which took place the first week of October. Dozens of volunteers packed nearly 1,800 kits with toiletries for 3Keys and two other nonprofits, @restoringoneshopeatlanta and @firststepstaffing.

We are so appreciative of our organization’s leaders! The executive team recently gathered for a working lunch where we also celebrated Keith Dutton’s 10th anniversary on the job as our Operations Director / Chief Compliance Officer. With six permanent supportive housing locations and nearly 500 community members served each year on their journey out of homelessness, Keith plays a crucial role in enhancing property management across the board. Thank you to all of our exec team, who continue to be driven by the passion to serve others.

Thank you to Reliance Medicare and Jacqueline “Denise” Mack for all you do to assist our residents with their Medicare and Medicaid needs. We also deeply appreciate your generous donation of fresh chicken, pork chops, and Italian sausage! Your kindness and support mean so much to our residents.

This past Saturday, 3Keys participated in a block party put on by @newbirthmbc and @safehouseoutreachatl. The event was dedicated to serving and caring for those experiencing homelessness. Diane, Natasha, Alena, and Ashley attended from our staff and provided resources and instructions to individuals on 3Keys’ services and how to be referred. They offered info on other housing resources where people can be assessed for housing assistance, too. Diane also spoke to the crowd about 3Keys’ permanent supportive housing apartments. The four-hour block party took place in downtown Atlanta and included mobile showers, haircuts, laundry facilities, medical screenings, a place to get vouchers for IDs, and more. Overall, the event was very thoughtful and we appreciated being a part of it! #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #supportivehousing #Atlanta

Thank you to @goodrxhelps for investing in the health, well-being, and stability of our permanent supportive housing apartments across Atlanta and Chamblee. We're honored to receive a $20,000 grant that will provide general operating support for 3Keys' supportive services programming. These flexible funds strengthen the foundation of our work, helping us sustain essential operations, support our dedicated staff, and continue delivering high-quality services that empower residents to thrive in our communities. At 3Keys, we know that ending chronic homelessness requires ongoing support, access to resources, and a commitment to helping every resident build a healthier, more stable future. We're grateful to GoodRx Helps for partnering with us to make that possible. #GoodRxHelps #thankyou #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #supportivehousing #Atlanta

Our partners are incredible! The @assistanceleagueatlanta recently donated a deep freezer for our food pantry. This will enable us to safely store more items to provide to our residents, like donated meats, breads, and other perishables. This is going to help us tremendously! Thank you Assistance League! #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #supportivehousing #Atlanta

Every day, our residents prove the power of the permanent supportive housing model, where we not only provide a place to live, but the wraparound services to help everyone be successful and to thrive. Four years ago, Ms. Cathy moved into Presley Woods in the Kirkwood neighborhood. At 71, Ms. Cathy has an admirably positive outlook, despite having suffered many hardships, including the loss of an adult son. She is proud of the fact that she has her own place and has managed it well in the face of various chronic health conditions and challenges.

Stable housing creates the foundation for recovery, connection, and long-term well-being. At Aspen Court Apartments in southwest Atlanta, 3Keys’ A Way Home program provides permanent supportive housing for individuals living with mental health disabilities who have experienced chronic homelessness. Residents receive onsite case management, supportive services, and access to community resources that help them maintain housing stability and work toward personal goals. Through programs like A Way Home, residents are building life skills, strengthening community connections, and experiencing a higher quality of life through permanent housing. Read more about the A Way Home program at the News and Information link in our bio. Donations are critical to supporting residents in A Way Home and at each of our six properties in metro Atlanta.

✨ A special thank you to the "Iconic" Iota Zeta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. (@sgrhoatlizs) who hosted a Spruce and Shine cleaning supplies drive for 3Keys’ residents! Sorority members presented gift baskets with cleaners, towels, soaps, sponges, mops, and more at Phoenix House along with a BBQ celebration. Dr. Linnea Buckhalter, Baileus, SGRHO, shared the chapter’s commitment to community wellness and providing ways for individuals to maintain their home with pride on their journey out of homelessness. #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #SupportiveHousing #BlueDivinity #SGRhoATLIZS #SigmaGammaRho

A heartfelt thank you to Assistance League of Atlanta for purchasing three microwaves for the residents at Welcome House! 💙 Your generosity and support mean so much to our residents and our organization. We are truly grateful! 🏠❤️

At 3Keys, our mission starts with people - and that includes the leaders who make our work possible. Meet our President & CEO, Scott Walker, whose 30+ years in social work and homelessness services have been guided by one simple belief: everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. Having experienced the importance of a strong support system firsthand, Scott has dedicated his career to helping individuals overcome barriers and build brighter futures. Whether he's visiting residents across our communities, mentoring staff, or securing resources to expand supportive housing, Scott leads with compassion, purpose, and a commitment to serving others. "I don't ask staff to do anything that I'm not willing to do myself," Scott says. "That's important when you're a leader." Get to know the person behind the mission and learn what inspires Scott's work every day. Read Scott’s story at News and Information in our bio.

A huge thank you to @fultoninfo for their recent award that will further fund permanent supportive housing for the 300+ residents living in our four properties in the county: Welcome House (in Downtown), Phoenix House (in Capitol View Manor), O’Hern House (in Sweet Auburn) & A Way Home (in Southwest Atlanta). Permanent supportive housing is a proven roadmap to escape the cycle of homelessness. Once the most basic need for housing is met, then wraparound services provided by 3Keys’ staff and partners help residents remain stably housed, attain sources of income, and improve their health outcomes. Funding for this work is provided in part by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners under the guidance of the Department of Community Development. #FultonCounty #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #supportivehousing #Atlanta

Today, we honor Juneteenth – a celebration of freedom, resilience, and progress. As we reflect on this significant day, we also recognize that the pursuit of freedom continues in many forms. At 3Keys, we believe that safe, stable housing is a foundation for individual freedom that comes with opportunity and independence. We remain committed to helping our neighbors on their journeys out of chronic homelessness. #Juneteenth #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #supportivehousing #housinghelphope

@partnersforhome has published the results of the @cityofatlantaga’s 2026 Point-in-Time Count. The data reflects ever-growing affordability challenges, with a 6% increase in those experiencing homelessness over 2025. With 3Keys’ mission to end chronic homelessness in Atlanta, we are tuned into the fact that this population of people increased by 4% in 2026. This underscores the significance and necessity of our work providing permanent supportive housing and wraparound services for individuals facing the most persistent challenges. While there was a 3% increase in unsheltered homelessness and a 7% increase in sheltered homelessness, the number of unhoused veterans - another focus of 3Keys - decreased by 13% year-over-year. 3Keys staffers, pictured, volunteered for this year’s PIT Count.

The renovation of our O’Hern House, a 76-unit apartment complex that serves formerly homeless individuals with permanent supportive housing, is well underway! A landmark in Sweet Auburn for nearly 120 years, the building was overdue for a complete redo of the first-floor amenities and a refresh of all of the residential rooms. HVAC, electrical, plumbing and lighting systems will be upgraded with an eye towards energy efficiency, resulting in significant savings on power and water utility bills. Once that is complete, new furniture and fixtures will be installed throughout the building. Residents are expected to move back into the building this fall. We are appreciative of our partners in this endeavor: Development Partner: @questcdc Architect: James Thomas Designs, LLC (led by Jim Viviano) Construction Project Manager: Carla Cooper Owner: The 3Keys, Inc. Support Service Provider: @cfiatlanta #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #supportivehousing #Atlanta

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and a reminder that housing and health are deeply connected. For many people experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges are both a cause and a consequence of housing instability. Without safe, stable housing, it’s nearly impossible to access consistent care. At 3Keys, we see every day how supportive housing can change that trajectory. By providing affordable housing with on-site services, we offer places for people to receive treatment, to start to heal, and to move forward on their own terms. Mental Health Awareness Month reaffirms our commitment to breaking the cycle by addressing both housing and mental health together. Everyone deserves a place to call home and the support to thrive. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #mentalhealth #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #supportivehousing #Atlanta

Strong partnerships are key to ending chronic homelessness in Atlanta and we’re proud to highlight our collaboration with Quest CDC. 3Keys and @@questcdc are partnering to renovate O’Hern House, a 76-unit permanent supportive housing community in Historic Sweet Auburn. Together, we’re preserving critical affordable housing for individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) and substance use disorders (SUDs), ensuring these residents continue to have access to stable housing and wraparound support services. With Quest CDC serving as Development Partner and 3Keys continuing as owner and property manager, this renovation reflects our shared commitment to building resilient communities.

Our residents at Welcome House took center stage recently with our annual talent show! From music and poetry to comedy and skits to fashion, each performance entertained and brought joy to the audience. Housing is just the beginning. Creating a place where residents feel seen, connected, and valued through fun events like this are what make a home. #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #SupportiveHousing

During @handsonatl Week the first week of October, dozens of volunteers came together to pack nearly 1,800 hygiene kits to benefit three nonprofits in the city, including 3Keys. Later this month, 209 of those kits will be delivered and distributed to our residents who live in Welcome House. Toiletry items included soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant along with snacks and other necessities. We are so grateful to the corporate volunteers at @kilpatricktownsend, @southstatebank, and @weareonedigital for dedicating their time to helping us end chronic homelessness in Atlanta. Thank you! 📸: @montyangelo Productions
