Project Description

The project involves the construction of a 26,000 sq. ft. Quest Nonprofit Center for Change that houses community and commercial services. Over the past 15 years, Quest has provided extensive housing services to homeless and low-income men and women, but is now expanding their focus to a broader set of challenges facing Atlanta’s Westside neighborhood. The new center includes case management and counseling services, healthy food access, commercial goods access, and financial management and empowerment services.

Quest Nonprofit Center for Change brought together best-in-class nonprofits and socially responsible businesses under one roof to collaboratively deliver much-needed resources to Atlanta’s Westside. It iwll be home to Westside Works, a long-term neighborhood program with a mission focused on creating employment opportunities and job training for residents of the Westside communities, including Vine City, English Avenue, Castleberry Hill and other contiguous neighborhoods.
