Our Promise

Every family deserves safety, stability, and a place to call home.

Our Mission

We Build More Than
Houses

RoofAbove was founded on a simple belief: housing is a human right. Since 2008, we have worked hand-in-hand with communities across Atlanta to create affordable housing that transforms neighborhoods.

We are not just builders. We are counselors, advocates, and neighbors. Our holistic approach addresses not just shelter, but the financial literacy, job readiness, and community support every family needs to thrive.

From our first 12-unit building to the 850+ homes we have developed today, every door we open represents a family whose life changed forever.
