An Extended Family for Deserving Young Women

While our primary goal is to provide emergency care, our larger goals include providing healing from the wounds of abuse and increasing each girl’s opportunities for future success. The capacity to offer a rich and extended set of resources distinguishes Jesse’s House among emergency shelters of its type, allowing it to become a truly valuable organization for the greater Atlanta area.
