The Drake House

The Drake House provides short-term crisis housing, education and empowerment programs for single mothers and their children who are experiencing homelessness in North Metro Atlanta. The program is designed to provide stability for the children and assist the family in working toward self-sufficiency. The Drake House envisions a community where school buses do not stop at weekly rental motels - where every family has the opportunity to recover quickly and with dignity from their homeless situation. Our program allows the children to remain stable in their current public school though the federal McKinny-Vento Act. (Less)
