Founded in 2004, The Drake House offers emergency residential housing for women and children in North Fulton County, just outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

Named after Mary Drake, a prominent volunteer and one founder of the North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC), The Drake House strives to fill the ever-growing need for housing for single mothers and their children.

The number of people in need of help in the North Fulton community is increasing at a higher rate than the capacity of the existing service agencies. Women and children have become the fastest growing segment of the homeless population, with children alone comprising 43% of Atlanta's homeless population.

None of Atlanta's temporary housing facilities serve the North Fulton area. Families forced to relocate into the city disrupt children's school lives and mothers' job opportunities.
