COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

HOME Aid

Through our partnership with HOME Aid, we’ve supported transitional housing projects, offering construction expertise and resources to provide safe, dignified spaces for families in need. These projects focus on bridging the gap between homelessness and stable housing, making a lasting impact on countless lives.

Department of Community Affairs (DCA)

The Community HOME Investment Program (CHIP), administered by PUSH Ministry in partnership with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA), provided grant funding to rehabilitate dozens of senior citizens’ homes in Fulton County. This initiative focused on preserving affordable housing by addressing critical repairs and improving living conditions for low-income seniors. PUSH Ministry’s efforts ensured these residents could safely remain in their homes, enhancing stability and quality of life within the community.

Beltline MarketPlace

The Beltline Marketplace Project introduced six 200-square-foot shipping container storefronts along Atlanta’s Beltline, providing affordable retail spaces for minority- and women-owned businesses. As a builder and general contractor, Majesty Gayle played a key role in overseeing construction, ensuring quality, efficiency, and sustainability in collaboration with other partners. This project fosters equitable economic growth and enriches Atlanta’s urban landscape.

Wadley Gardens

Wadley Gardens, a 28-unit Atlanta property, was transformed from vacancy to fully rehabbed housing for low-to-moderate-income residents through local partnerships and grants, now serving as a beacon of hope in an underserved area.
