    I was very disappointed with the level of professionalism and lack of empathy staff showed over the phone for my housing situation due to COVID. They lead me along, asking me to complete Application for Rental Assistance, uploaded required documents and then they went GHOST on me!! If you’re in an Emergency situation, I would not recommend this Agency. It’s very unfortunate because the money that United Way received to help people in need was not utilized properly, if it was WHY WAS THERE SO MUCH MONEY LEFT to use or lose??

    This place here is a real joke back in the day they were very helpful nowadays they limit the resources by doing things by zip code so the poorer zip codes have NO RESOURCES where as where the whites are located they have everything! They have all these links but none that addresses your questions so how you going to provide a solution? The employees showing up getting FREE MONEY not there to help period!

    They need to update their information on who has funding to keep us from doing all the extra footwork to find help but keep hitting dead ends

    I spoke w/Lyric and she was amazing. She not only provided me with rental assistance, she also sent me text links for utilities as well. She was professional and compassionate. She understood my needs and gladly went above and beyond to assist me. Thank you for being great Lyric.

    I want to thank the United Way Of Greater Atlanta representative "Liliana" for her kindness and patience. She was most helpful in giving names and numbers of the most prestigious organizations that assist individuals and families in need. "Liliana" thank you for your assistance and most of all your courtesy!

    I was there for a 3-day training and have never had such a wonderful, personable experience with United Way members. Every interaction was kind; however, Janelle Gibson was head and shoulders about the rest. Janelle has, seemingly, an insatiable desire to exceed expectations for every aspect of her role. I wish every professional experience was curated in this fashion.

😠 Gateway does have amazing resources! However, they have the worst attitudes! Not everybody, but majority seem miserable to be working with people in the most neediest time of their lives!
