Mission

To empower people experiencing housing insecurity to build pathways toward stable and thriving lives.

Vision

A Rome and Floyd County where everyone has access to safe, affordable housing and the opportunity to thrive.

The Challenge

Rome and Floyd County face significant housing challenges. With nearly 13% of families living in poverty and statewide data showing 45% of Georgia households struggling to afford basic necessities (ALICE households), our community has at least 137 individuals experiencing homelessness—a number widely acknowledged to be underreported.

Our Solution

Pathway to Home is a newly formed nonprofit organization (501(c)(3) that will build and operate Rome's first permanent supportive housing community. Our flagship project—a 30-40 unit tiny home village on the Westminster Presbyterian Church campus—will provide more than shelter. It will create genuine pathways from homelessness to housing stability. 

Our Approach

Pathway to Home is building Rome's first permanent, affordable, and supportive housing community—a 30-40 unit tiny home community that provides more than shelter.

  • Immediate housing with minimal preconditions. Private, dignified living spaces (250-400 sq ft) with bathroom and kitchen.
