Bringing hope to the community
Since 2008, UHope CDC, founded by Aletha Scott-Mallory in Sandy Springs, Georgia, has been dedicated to transforming the lives of homeless men and veterans. With over 1,000 men assisted, UHope offers housing solutions, support services, and community programs designed to empower individuals to regain stability and hope. Committed to compassion and faith, UHope not only provides shelter but also builds a supportive community to foster lasting change.
Spreading hope throughout the community
UHope CDC is a beacon of hope for homeless men and veterans in our community. We offer emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing, and personalized support to help men reclaim their lives. Beyond housing, we actively contribute to community initiatives like Toys-for-Tots, spreading joy to children in need every holiday season. Our youth outreach program empowers young men aged 18-25 by providing housing and vital resources, ensuring that the next generation has the support they need to thrive.
Veteran Assistance
Veterans who have served our country deserve dignity, respect, and a place to call home. UHope CDC is proud to provide permanent housing and tailored support to homeless veterans, helping them transition from instability to independence. We understand the unique challenges veterans face and are committed to honoring their service by walking alongside them every step of the way toward a brighter future.
Emergency Shelter
Our emergency shelter program offers immediate, short-term housing for men of all ages who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness. Providing up to 30 days of safe refuge, this program gives individuals the critical time and support needed to stabilize their situation, access resources, and plan for long-term housing solutions. At UHope, no one faces homelessness alone.
Uhope Ministries
At the heart of UHope CDC is a faith-based commitment to healing and community. We invite our residents and supporters to join us in Christian fellowship every Sunday and Bible study on Wednesday nights. These ministries provide spiritual guidance, encouragement, and a sense of belonging, nurturing the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—as they rebuild their lives.

Founder
Aletha Scott-Mallory
FounderAletha Scott-Mallory, the heart behind UHope CDC, was born in Liberia and came to the United States to pursue her college education at Western Kentucky University. Raised in a close-knit Christian village, Aletha grew up with a deep sense of faith, community, and compassion. Her upbringing instilled in her a lifelong passion for giving back and standing beside those in need. Guided by her faith and a calling to serve, Aletha founded UHope in 2008 with a mission to support homeless men and veterans in rebuilding their lives. Her vision was simple yet powerful: to create a place where people could find shelter, dignity, hope, and the resources to begin again. Since then, she has helped over 1,000 men find stability and purpose through UHope’s programs. Aletha continues to lead with humility, dedication, and an unwavering belief that true change begins when we come together to uplift one another.
UHope gave me a second chance when I had nowhere else to turn. The emergency shelter was a safe place, and the staff helped me find transitional housing. Today, I’m back on my feet and hopeful for the future.
As a veteran, I struggled to find stable housing after leaving the service. UHope not only provided me a home but also a supportive community that understands the challenges veterans face. I’m forever grateful.
Volunteering at UHope has been life-changing. Seeing the impact we make, from helping young men through the Youth Outreach program to supporting seniors, reminds me that every small effort counts.
UHope’s Youth Outreach program helped me find not just housing, but guidance and support when I needed it most. They believed in me, and that gave me the strength to believe in myself.
The Christian fellowship and Bible study offered by UHope gave me a sense of peace and community during a difficult time. It reminded me that I’m not alone on this journey.
