Today marks five years since the passing of Jovita Moore, beloved Channel 2 Action News anchor and cherished member of the Atlanta community.

Jovita was deeply passionate about serving others and dedicated countless hours to making a difference throughout Atlanta. At Our House, she was a steadfast supporter, serving as both a longtime volunteer and advisory council member, and championing our mission with generosity, compassion, and heart.

We remain profoundly grateful for Jovita's unwavering support and the lasting impact she made on our organization, our families, and our community.

From the outside, Amber’s life looked secure. She was educated, poised, building a career in public health and raising a daughter she adored. To people around her, she may even have seemed like someone who had it all together.
What they could not see was the painful secret she was carrying behind closed doors, one that would eventually lead her to Our House.
What happened next changed the way Amber thought about homelessness and who "looks" like they need help.

FAQ: What Happens When a Family Needs More Than One Kind of Support? Where Do I Start?
If you're reaching out, you've already taken an important first step.
Start with what feels most urgent today.
Maybe it is housing. Maybe it is childcare. Maybe you need healthcare, employment support or help figuring out what resources may be available to you.
You do not have to solve the entire puzzle before contacting Our House.
When you complete our Get Help form, tell us your first priority. When a member of our team follows up, we can talk about the other needs affecting your family too.
Our House tailors support around each family's specific needs, and Family Advocacy is woven throughout our programs to help families set goals, identify resources and navigate next steps.

A job does not always guarantee a stable place to live.
In a Georgia State University study of extended-stay hotels in DeKalb County, 78% of surveyed households had at least one working adult.
Yet more than 4,600 people were using extended-stay hotels as their primary residence, including 1,635 children.
Families reported paying an average of $1,852 a month for hotel rooms, while deposits, credit history, prior evictions and rental screening kept many from moving into permanent housing.
Many families experiencing housing instability are working every day and still returning to an extended-stay hotel because permanent housing remains out of reach.
Our House works with families facing these and other barriers by offering housing support, healthcare, early education, employment services, Family Advocacy, and more.

Do I qualify? Do I need insurance? Do I need an appointment? What should I bring?
Sometimes figuring out how to access care is the first hurdle.
Our House Health provides no-cost healthcare for eligible people experiencing homelessness or housing instability, people who are uninsured and experiencing financial hardship, and Georgia Medicaid patients.
General clinical services are available on a walk-in basis, while mental health services are available by appointment.
Before deciding healthcare is out of reach, check with Our House Health.

FAQ: Can fathers and older boys stay with their families at Our House?
Yes.
When a family needs shelter, it’s important to keep them together.
Our House's family shelter can accommodate fathers as well as families with older male children, helping families avoid another painful disruption during an already difficult period.
Families have private rooms and access to meals, laundry, infant and personal care supplies and broader support through Our House, including childcare, healthcare, employment training, and Family Advocacy.
Our shelter serves families experiencing homelessness who have at least one child age five or younger, with placement based on availability.
