About this Event

What does it actually take to move people from the street to stable housing in a city like Atlanta?

Atlanta is rising to meet this moment, bringing together outreach teams, service providers, developers and government partners to ensure no one is left behind.

Join us for a live panel conversation led by Chatiqua Ellison, the Mayor’s Deputy Chief Housing Officer | Senior Advisor on Homelessness, followed by a screening of Beyond the Bridge: A Solution to Homelessness.

This event offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Atlanta’s homelessness response system works in practice, from first engagement on the street to shelter, coordinated housing pathways and long-term stability.

You’ll hear directly from leaders across the system, including:

  • Camille Russell, VP, Programs and Implementation, Partners for HOME
  • Darion Dunn,
  • with additional panelists to be announced

Together, they’ll unpack how coordination across outreach, shelter, development, and services is helping drive measurable progress, and what it takes to sustain it.

The panel will set the stage for Beyond the Bridge, a documentary that explores solutions to unsheltered homelessness across the country, offering a broader lens on the work happening here in Atlanta.

Program:

  • 6:15 p.m. - Welcome + Opening Remarks
  • 6: 20 p.m. - Panel Discussion
  • 7:00 p.m. - Film Screening: Beyond the Bridge
  • 8:25 p.m. - Closing + Ways to Stay Engaged

Free parking available on-site and complimentary food and beverages provided.

This is an opportunity to better understand the work behind the headlines, and the role coordination plays in creating lasting solutions.


Come learn how Atlanta is rising to to make homelessness rare, brief and non recurring, and how you can rise with us.
