Chris 180 Inc

Residential and Housing Services: CHRIS 180 provides a range of housing services to support youth and young adults experiencing homelessness or housing instability. These include the SPOT Drop-In Center, emergency, transitional, and permanent housing options throughout the community, and our permanent supportive housing program at Summit Trail Apartments for single and parenting young adults. To promote greater independence, we offer wraparound support such as counseling, life and job skills development, emergency assistance, and connections to stable housing. Foster Care and Adoption: CHRIS 180 specializes in licensing trauma-informed foster and adoptive homes across metro Atlanta counties, including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton, Coweta, Henry, Fayette, Douglas, Rockdale, and Newton. Our Foster Care Program serves children and youth ages 0-21 in the custody of the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), prioritizing safety, permanency, and well-being while supporting reunification whenever possible. For families interested in adoption, we partner with DFCS to facilitate placements for youth who meet specific criteria, with all adoptions limited to within Georgia. We provide comprehensive trauma-informed support for both children and foster families to help create stable, loving forever homes.

Community Services: CHRIS 180 offers a wide range of community-based services to help children, adolescents, and adults heal, strengthen families, and build safe, resilient communities. Using evidence-based models such as High Fidelity Wraparound, Multi-Systemic Therapy, and Functional Family Therapy, we support families in navigating complex systems and accessing resources for prevention, reunification, and long-term success. Our community initiatives include targeted programming in five Atlanta Police Zones through the SPOT Drop-In Center for youth experiencing homelessness, three At-Promise Centers, and the Westside Empowerment Center's housing, counseling, and Community Health Worker programs. All services are delivered in partnership with other community organizations, leveraging collective strengths to maximize impact.
