The Zion Hill Community Development Corporation seeks to promote the revitalization and redevelopment of selected areas in Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, and to empower citizens through economic, residential, social, and educational programs. Zion Hill Community Development Corporation is a growing community development entity, birthed out of Zion Hill Baptist Church, a 133 year-old institution that has an unwavering dedication to community service. This passionate dedication has deepened into a mission and vision to serve impoverished and disenfranchiised families and individuals. Through this vision, Zion Hill Community Development Corporation was organized and opened its doors in January 2004 for the express purpose of meeting the needs of individuals and families in a holistic manner. Zion Hill Baptist Church continues to support the organization through in-kind donations, financial contributions, and volunteer efforts. In 2008, Zion Hill CDC served 2, 388 clients and households (37 homeless, 1832 children). We interrupted 234 evictions, and provided $31, 721.95 in Utility Assistance, $55, 792.55 in Rental Assistance, and $4691.75 in Temporary Lodging.
