Mixed Income Housing

FCS creates home buying and rental opportunities for residents across the income spectrum.

Economic Development

We support local entrepreneurs and support small businesses to create a sustainable, inclusive community.

Training & Consulting

Through training and consulting, we share our model far and wide.

Our Neighborhood

Historic South Atlanta
is our home.
Black Americans created a vibrant community called Brownsville here in spite of systemic racial violence and discrimination. This neighborhood became Historic South Atlanta, and we carry its rich legacy in all that we do.

Our Impact

Together with neighbors, we’re creating an equitable, mixed-income neighborhood where everyone can flourish. Support from people like you sustains this work.
