ATLANTA, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Status: Home, Atlanta's largest and oldest provider of permanent supportive housing for homeless or low-income people living with HIV, has received a $3,216,040 investment from the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta's TogetherATL Affordable Housing Fund. This investment supports critical renovations across Status: Home's five recently acquired multifamily properties, ensuring long-term affordability and stability for residents.
Currently, 90% of Status: Home residents have achieved viral suppression, a rate nearly double that of Atlanta's unhoused population living with HIV. By integrating stable housing with comprehensive support services, Status: Home helps residents achieve better health outcomes, financial stability, and long-term independence.
"It's more than just dollars, it's about making sure people living with HIV have homes they can afford, and that those homes stay affordable for the long term," said Maryum Phillips, President & CEO of Status: Home.
The investment brings Status: Home within $75,000 of its $26.5 million capital campaign goal to expand and improve affordable housing options for people living with HIV in Atlanta. Renovations are underway at all five properties, including the organization's flagship site, Ullman Court, with improvements designed to enhance accessibility, safety, and long-term viability.
The TogetherATL Affordable Housing Fund is part of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta's ongoing work to increase affordable housing opportunities across the region.
Status: Home will celebrate this milestone with a ribbon-cutting event on May 16, 2025, marking the completion of renovations and honoring the renaming of Ullman Court in tribute to longtime community leader Evelyn Ullman, who co-founded Status: Home in 1988 when it was known as Jerusalem House.
