What Status: Home does

Status: Home (formerly Jerusalem House) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia, and is the oldest and largest provider of permanent supportive housing for low-income and homeless individuals and families impacted by HIV/AIDS in metro Atlanta. The organization operates a tiered housing portfolio across five programs: a Facilities-Based Housing program for single adults with AIDS, approximately 100 permanently affordable multi-family units, scattered-site master-lease housing across Atlanta, a tenant-based rental assistance program (New Horizons) providing 12-24 months of subsidies, and a Philanthropy Circle major-donor program. It currently serves roughly 400 residents annually across 300+ housing units — including nearly 100 children — and accounts for over 70% of Atlanta's permanent supportive housing capacity for the HIV/AIDS-affected population. The model is funded primarily through government grants (HUD HOPWA via the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, DeKalb County, and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs) and diversified private donations (individual, corporate, foundation, religious, and in-kind), with a disclosed FY25 operating budget of approximately $9 million and a 91% program-expense ratio.

The business operates as a referral-driven human services provider rather than a technology or commercial enterprise. Resident acquisition flows through Atlanta's Coordinated Entry System (ATL311), with prospective residents screened and matched by the city. Status: Home employs 35 staff and delivers wrap-around supportive services — case management, HIV care linkage, employment services, mental health services, and legal services — through a curated network of 25+ community agency partners, including Grady Infectious Disease Program, Absolute Care, AID Atlanta, Atlanta Legal Aid Society, CHRIS 180, and Recovery Consultants of Atlanta. Donations are accepted via one-time gifts, recurring monthly contributions, donor-advised funds, and in-kind donations; major donors participate in a tiered Philanthropy Circle ranging from $500 to $24,999 annually.

Strategically, the organization is in a defensive-offensive transition. In 2022, it received a $7 million City of Atlanta capital grant to pivot away from leased master-lease housing toward owned real estate, executed through three property acquisitions in 2023 adding 60 housing units and a concurrent divestiture of the Family Program facility. A March 2024 $477,000 federal earmark (championed by Senators Warnock and Ossoff) funded fixtures and furnishings for the newly acquired apartments. Leadership has been refreshed across the 2021-2025 window: Maryum Phillips became President & CEO in August 2021, Daphne Walker (formerly head of Georgia DCA Housing Assistance Division, which administered $1.1B in housing resources statewide) joined as COO in November 2025, and a new board chair and executive committee took effect July 1, 2025. The 2023 rebrand from Jerusalem House to Status: Home modernized the organization's identity while preserving 35+ years of brand equity in the Atlanta HIV/AIDS services ecosystem.
