📣 Big news from Downtown Rising + Mini City!
Mini City is now the official provider of document readiness services for the Downtown Rising initiative — ensuring unhoused neighbors get fast-tracked access to ID and critical documents needed for housing, healthcare, and support.
We’re continuing our work with longtime partners like HOPE Atlanta and The Gateway Center — and are excited to welcome several new organizations into our community of care. Explore below:
Mend Culture brings deep community roots and a trauma-informed approach to outreach. With a focus on healing through art, culture, and storytelling, their team is a trusted presence among those navigating housing insecurity. Now, with Mini City training, they’ll help clients move quickly through document readiness — one of the most important steps toward stable housing.
Urban Alchemy’s practitioners are skilled in de-escalation, street outreach, and harm reduction — making them critical first responders in downtown public spaces. With Mini City onboarding, their team can now help individuals on the street begin the process of regaining their identity and stability.
Project Community Connections Inc. (PCCI)’s work with vulnerable families and individuals makes them a vital partner in housing stabilization efforts. Their team is now equipped with the Mini City platform to accelerate ID access and documentation for clients — clearing a key hurdle on the path to permanent housing.
We’re thrilled to welcome George Harm reduction Coalitions (GHRC)’s Rapid Rehousing team as part of our Downtown Rising partner network. Working with people facing substance use and housing challenges, GHRC is now equipped with the Mini City platform to help their clients quickly obtain the IDs and records needed to unlock housing and care.
