Fuller Center

The Fuller Center for Housing of Greater Atlanta creates a path to decent affordable housing for working families across Metro Atlanta. We serve the people our communities depend on every day: teacher aides, custodians, bus drivers, mechanics, emergency responders, nursing home workers and other hardworking families who often cannot afford to live in the communities they serve.

We build affordable, decent homes for families and provide zero-interest mortgages to help our families achieve long-term stability, equity and opportunity. Our work is rooted in partnership with our local faith, business, and charitable community, helping families build lasting foundations rather than temporary solutions.

In addition to creating homeownership opportunities, we also provide critical home repairs and accessibility modifications that help seniors, disabled residents and longtime homeowners remain safely in their homes and communities.

Through our Go Big Initiative, we are committed to expanding affordable homeownership opportunities across Metro Atlanta over the next decade through strategic partnerships, volunteer engagement and community support.

Together, we are helping Atlanta families build stability, put down roots and create stronger communities where more people can #LiveFuller.
