Making A Way Housing's (MAWH) magical annual Casino Night Gala and Fundraiser is known for bringing donors, supporters and clients together in one unforgettable evening.  This year's third annual Gala Fundraiser festivities are taking place June 8, 2019 from 6:00pm - 10:00pm at the Impact Main Event Hall(2323 Sylvan Road Atlanta, GA 30344).

Making A Way Housing, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization in the Pine Acres/Urban Villa Community of  Northwest Atlanta. Nearly two decades strong, the organization has served over 10,000 individuals, in "making a way out of no way".

Their mission is to provide safe, affordable housing to individuals facing complex challenges in the areas of: homelessness, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS and mental health. A critical stakeholder for the underserved in the City of Atlanta , Making A Way generously reaches out in service to surrounding neighborhoods, not just their own housing clients.

Their vision:  To eradicate homelessness with mutual community involvement, while providing a sense of belonging for anyone, and everyone.
