Founded in 1978, Focused Community Strategies (FCS) works in underserved Atlanta neighborhoods to nurture positive, sustainable change that builds from neighborhood assets, supports local leaders, and fosters social and spiritual vitality. Since focusing its programs on Historic South Atlanta in 2001, FCS has restored over 140 homes in the area and has catalyzed several social enterprises, creating local jobs and new community safe spaces. Most recently, in 2015, FCS established the Carver Neighborhood Market, creating 12 jobs and bringing fresh food and nutrition education to an area previously considered a food desert.
