StreetWise Georgia, Neighbor

StreetWise Georgia is a non-profit organization committed to helping people living below the poverty level get the professional help and care they need to rebuild their lives and function independently. We offer a place where people can count on getting the help and support they need.

In 1988, Terry and Pat Powell left their corporate jobs to serve people living in low income areas. They began building an extensive resource program in downtown Atlanta, mostly notably in the government housing communities of Perry Homes and Bowen Homes. Here, StreetWise offered a broad range of services to help over 600 families living below the poverty level get the professional help and care they needed to rebuild their lives.

Our vision for helping inner city families has expanded into Gwinnett and Barrow counties. StreetWise Georgia is designed to help get struggling families back on their feet and functioning independently. StreetWise offers a place where people can count on getting the help and support they need, whenever they need it.
