HomeStretch began in 1991 when volunteers at the North Fulton Community Charities realized the need for affordable housing in the North Fulton area.  An increasing number of at-risk families were applying for housing assistance.  However, the Charities could offer these families nothing beyond emergency short-term aid.

The heart of HomeStretch's mission is helping homeless families get back on their feet and into permanent, sustainable housing. This is no small endeavor considering that HomeStretch families typically earn salaries at or below the poverty threshold.  Supporting a family at this income level brings such financial hardship that the family is unable to make ends meet and inevitably becomes homeless.
