Welcome House serves some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. Located in downtown Atlanta, Welcome House offers very low-income residents the opportunity to have a safe place to live while receiving onsite support from 3Keys staff. Welcome House residents have both mental health and substance use disorders, but their needs vary greatly. Services are tailored to help each resident live a lifestyle of independence instead of a return to homelessness, incarceration, or constant institutional care.

Named for our honorary chair former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, our Rosalynn Apartments complex is in DeKalb County, strategically located near the DeKalb Community Service Board, multiple grocery stores and shopping malls, and a public park is less than a block away, and easily accessible by mass transit.
The community building includes laundry facilities and a computer area, and opens to a quiet courtyard enclosed by the apartments. This community and its services are geared toward residents with a higher level of independence. Most residents are employed, volunteering or participating in day programs. Each resident has access to the onsite services, including case management, medication management and connection to community resources.

​O’Hern House, a renovated building in Atlanta’s historic Auburn Avenue district that was once a shoe factory, houses members in our community who are living with severe mental health issues. The facility includes an industrial kitchen that is used to train residents in meal preparation and provides three meals a day. There are lounges on each floor, an elevator, game room, library, and community space for resident engagement and activities. ​

Located in northeast Atlanta in DeKalb County’s historic Kirkwood neighborhood, Presley Woods was specifically designed and built to provide affordable housing for lower income adults. The quiet tree-shaded common area opens to the studio units that surround a courtyard with a partially covered patio. There is a main building common area, and residents have access to use the laundry facility, reading room, gym, and recreation room.

Phoenix House is located outside of downtown Atlanta near the Oakland City MARTA Station. The apartments provide affordable, long-term housing for those who have highly service-dependent mental illness. This facility fills a critical gap between institutions and group homes by providing independent living within a highly supportive environment.

3Keys manages scattered site apartments within the Adams House Apartment complex in southwest Atlanta as part of its A Way Home permanent supportive housing program for individuals living with disabilities. Residents receive onsite services from both their clinical providers and supportive services and case management from 3Keys staff.

The services provided play a crucial role in residents’ ability to maintain housing and live up to their potential. Residents increase life skills, have opportunities to be involved in community events like our weekly walking group and other monthly housing meetings, and can get reduced-price memberships at the local YMCA. The library, a recreation center, and multiple grocery stores are within walking distance. A Way Home participants enjoy the sense of community at the Adams House complex and experience a higher quality of life through permanent housing.
