Zaban Paradies Center invites you to join us for our 2026 "Home, Within Reach" gala at The Temple on October 29, 2026. This special event celebrates a pivotal moment for our organization and allows guests and other supporters to be a part of what comes next.

 

In 2025, ZPC transitioned from an overnight shelter to a 24/7 residential model with intensive case management, fundamentally expanding our ability to support couples experiencing homelessness. This shift has already driven meaningful results: in 2025, more than half of our residents exited to permanent housing, more than double the national average.

 

In addition to expanding our shelter to a 24/7 model, we launched Financial Assistance programs that helped hundreds by either ending their experience with homelessness or preventing them from becoming homeless.

 

Even with this progress, the need remains urgent.

 

This year's Gala will both highlight this progress and raise critical funds to sustain and expand our programming, ensuring more households in Greater Atlanta can move from crisis to stability and into permanent housing.

 

Your support directly fuels:
• 24/7 shelter and daily meals
• Individualized case management
• Financial assistance for move-in and eviction prevention
• Ongoing support that helps couples remain stably housed

 

We hope you will join us for an evening of purpose and impact, and help make permanent housing possible for more couples, families, and individuals.
