History: Since 2001, more than 10,000 individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Atlanta’s Westside could count on comprehensive support from Quest. People with disabilities, such as physical, mental, or drug or alcohol addictions, have access to various services, including temporary and permanent housing.

Did you know: Quest develops, owns, and manages apartments that provide housing to 800 clients a year. Quest assigns a caseworker to each client, and 95% of clients do not return to homelessness. Caseworkers support their clients for life, assisting with employment, transportation, financial management and other services.

Motto: At Quest, we believe that housing is a human right – without it, hope is hindered and dreams are deferred.

How you can help: Volunteers can make gift bags with toiletries, cooking ware, or linens for clients in the apartment clubhouse. In addition, financial donation can purchase toiletries and MARTA cards and provide lasting support to end homelessness in metro Atlanta.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
