RMR Residential Donates $250,000 to HOPE Atlanta in the Fight to End Homelessness

RMR Residential has committed to donate $250,000 to HOPE Atlanta, a local non-profit organization dedicated to preventing and fighting homelessness.

“At RMR Residential, we don’t just invest in real estate; we invest in the communities where we are active. Atlanta, being home to our national headquarters, is particularly important to our company,” said RMR Residential CEO and Founder M. Patrick Carroll. “Partnering with a reputable organization like HOPE Atlanta is one of the ways we can help improve the homelessness epidemic in our backyard and make Atlanta a better place to live.”

HOPE Atlanta is currently housing and feeding 16,000 households across 31 counties in the metro Atlanta and North Georgia areas, where calls for help have nearly tripled during the COVID-19 pandemic. The donation from RMR Residential will allow HOPE Atlanta to help prevent 80 families from becoming homeless by providing one month of emergency housing, provide 3,000 individuals experiencing chronic homelessness with long-term housing and assist 40 veterans in attaining permanent housing with first and last’s rent, security and utility deposits.

“A gift of this size is transformational for our organization as we continue to serve families facing economic hardship and housing insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Jeff Smythe, HOPE Atlanta CEO. “It is imperative we continue to bring advocacy and awareness to those in need of affordable housing options and the donation by RMR Residential is crucial to furthering our mission.”

In the past three years, RMR Residential has helped improve the areas in which they invest by donating nearly $500,000 to local organizations. Since the COVID pandemic, RMR Residential has helped residents impacted by the financial stressors stemming from the pandemic by providing them with the resources needed to receive government aid. Additional support came in forms of providing cash donations and presenting gift cards to residents to alleviate pandemic stressors. The partnership with HOPE Atlanta is part of RMR Residential’s ongoing dedication to help those in need in the communities in which it serves.
