Charis Community Housing

There’s a great organization in Atlanta called Charis Community Housing.  It was founded by Bob Lupton 30 years ago because he  believed that many of the problems associated with economic poverty originated after we isolated the economically poor. Charis desires to break this isolation and create wholesome, viable, sustainable mixed-income communities of peace.  They are neighborhood based, and do great workshops to help inform people regarding home ownership.  They give out out prizes at these workshops as incentives to help their neighbors to get involved in understanding how to better care for their homes and neighborhoods.  Gift Card Giver was able to help by donating gift cards that they can use as the prizes!
