City of Refuge is building five new affordable single-family homes on Burbank Drive in Atlanta’s Westside neighborhood in partnership with GROWTH by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC).

Five first-time buyers will be able to achieve their dream of homeownership in this historic community, where nearly 40% of the residents live below the federal poverty level.

For the second quarter of April through June, Atlanta-based nonprofit City of Refuge reports:

  • 127,565 meals served.
  • 5,446 medical services provided.
  • 311 jobs placed.
  • 274 youths impacted.
  • 114 individuals housed.
  • 51 reentry citizens.

City of Refuge is “a faith-based environment that helps individuals and families transition out of crisis,” according to the organization’s website.

To request housing or apply for job training programs, call 404-874-2241.
