Named Safe Landing West Athens, the project site is a parcel spanning an area of 3.1 acres. The property will operate 24 hours per day and provide shelter to uptown 176 people at a time. The shelter will yield a total built-up area of 90,000 square feet. The facility will include an intake clinic, an administration building, a kitchen & dining facility, a men’s dormitory, a women’s dormitory, and a couple’s dormitory. In addition to housing, the campus will offer health, mental health, and substance abuse treatments to future residents.

Renderings reveal a series of single-story metal buildings that will be arranged around a landscaped central courtyard. At the time of its groundbreaking in 2019, there were more than 700 unhoused persons living within two miles of the Safe Landing site.
