Every family deserves the chance to stay in their home. Through the Atlanta Rising Prevention Pilot, Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation’s Community Support and Prevention (CSP) team is working to make that possible by reaching households before a housing crisis becomes homelessness.
Progress to Date
That assistance helps families stay housed during a critical moment, when one missed payment or unexpected expense could otherwise put their home at risk.
About Atlanta Rising Prevention Pilot
Atlanta Rising Prevention Pilot is a three-year pilot studying the effectiveness of targeted homelessness prevention in Atlanta. It is led by Partners for HOME in partnership with the University of Notre Dame’s Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities.
As a research study, Atlanta Rising Prevention Pilot does more than connect neighbors with support. It also helps build evidence about which prevention strategies work best, so that Atlanta and other communities can make informed decisions about how to address housing instability.
Our Role
AVLF’s CSP team is one of the partners carrying out this work in the community. The mission is simple at its core: reach families early, before a housing crisis becomes homelessness.
Preventing homelessness protects more than a roof. It helps families keep their stability, their routines, and their sense of security, and it avoids the far greater disruption that comes when housing is lost.
Looking Ahead
