3Keys’ 2025 Annual Report Now Available, Highlights Collaborative Work and Significant Milestones

The latest chapter in the work of The 3Keys is here! Our 2025 annual report is now available, offering an insightful look at how housing, services, and community come together in the mission to end chronic homelessness in Atlanta. The report notes our year in numbers and highlights moments of impact in 2025, including:

  • William Josef Foundation and DCA Grants: 3Keys was awarded $150,000 from the William Josef Foundation and $250,000 in ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds from Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs to bolster supportive services across its portfolio.

  • O’Hern House Rehab: On September 24, 3Keys held a press conference to celebrate the groundbreaking for the rehabilitation of O’Hern House, a nearly 120-year-old historic building, supported by a $5.4 million grant award from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget (OPB). The project will preserve and upgrade 76 units that provide housing for individuals diagnosed with mental illness, including those with substance use disorders.

  • Welcome House Collaboration: In July, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens visited Welcome House following 3Keys’ agreement with the City to provide 19 dedicated beds as part of a Rapid Re-Housing effort to support unsheltered individuals living at the Wheat Street Encampment. As a result of this initiative, 18 individuals remain stably housed at Welcome House.

  • Enterprise Community Leadership Council: Scott was invited to represent 3Keys on Enterprise’s Executive Community Leadership Council (ECLC), a national board that brings together experienced affordable housing leaders and partners from across the country to share expertise and help drive meaningful change.

  • Board leadership transfer and recognition: After nearly 15 years serving as the Chair of the Board, David Lambrecht transitioned leadership to Bona Allen. David will continue to serve on the board as a member.

    Stan Jones, the inaugural Chairperson of Project Interconnections (3Keys’ prior name), who helmed the first-ever board meeting in January 1988, retired from his distinguished legal career and will continue in his role as a board member. His experience working on mental health issues for Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter in both Washington and Atlanta led to his founding role at 3Keys.

  • Georgia Supportive Housing Institute Cohort: In the fall of 2025, 3Keys was selected to participate in the second Georgia Supportive Housing Institute (SHI) Cohort, a signature Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) program designed to enhance affordable and supportive housing developments throughout the state. Its rigorous curriculum covers all facets of multi-family property development including; design concepts, service delivery, funding procurement, and ongoing operation.

  • Point-in-Time Count 2025: The City of Atlanta conducted its annual Point-in-Time Count overnight in January of 2025. 3Keys joined volunteers as they spread out across the city to conduct surveys, assessments, and distributed essential items such as: warm clothing, hygiene products, and food. In 2025, Scott, Diane, Keith, and Stephanie all participated.

  • Financial Keys Sessions: 3Keys continued hosting Financial Keys sessions with Delta Community Credit Union (DCCU) at Phoenix House and Rosalynn Apartments. This series of classes is designed to equip residents with essential financial literacy skills, laying a foundation for long-term stability and success.

  • Cheers for a Cause 2025: Supporters, friends, and colleagues gathered on November 6 for the annual Cheers for a Cause fundraiser that directly funds programming and operational costs, benefitting hundreds of formerly homeless individuals across our Metro Atlanta portfolio. 

We also shared the stories of two 3Keys residents’ resilience and how their lives have transformed from the time they received their keys to today, showing remarkable progress towards better mental, physical, and emotional health. Read about MD’s story of finding a path to stable health and employment and EG’s story of emerging from deep depression.

The annual report also provides an overview of our grants and philanthropic funding, a partner spotlight featuring PMC (Proactive Management Consultants), and a summary of our social media and website stats.

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to read our 3Keys’ 2025 annual report for a holistic view of our work that supports nearly 500 individuals with supportive services across our six properties each year. Follow our work throughout the year on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
