HomeStretch originated in 1991 when volunteers at the local North Fulton Community Charities recognized the pressing need for affordable housing in the North Fulton area. As the number of at-risk families seeking housing assistance increased, the charities found themselves limited to providing only emergency, short-term aid.
To meet this growing demand, volunteers established the North Fulton Housing Ministry within the North Fulton Community Charities. Drawing inspiration from various transitional housing programs across the United States, they amalgamated the best practices to create HomeStretch, The Housing Initiative of North Fulton.
