On August 20, Zaban Paradies Center had the opportunity to participate in United Way of Greater Atlanta’s Innovation Forum, and ZPC Executive Director Danny Lester-Drew served as a panelist on the Innovations in Rental Support panel alongside our partners @partnersforhome and…

@investwithroots, facilitated by United Way’s Amy Barrow. Danny shared about our Financial Assistance programs, including our partnerships with United Way of Greater Atlanta and the Atlanta Rising Prevention Pilot Program, supported by Partners for HOME. Danny also highlighted ZPC’s current data, programs and enrollment process, as well as our strategic goals for the future. For ZPC, events like this are about more than sharing what we do—they’re about building connections and strengthening our community’s collective response to homelessness. We connected with other local organizations and expanded our resource network so we can better connect households facing homelessness in the City of Atlanta and surrounding areas with the support they need. We’re grateful to United Way of Greater Atlanta for bringing community organizations together to share ideas, learn from one another, and explore innovative approaches to keeping people housed. 💙
