Oaksatl Community Development Incorporated

A nonprofit organization

OaksATL began alongside neighbors in English Avenue. While serving families through Peace Preparatory Academy, our founder, Matt Maxwell, saw first hand how unsafe housing conditions forced people from their homes. At the time, more than 60% of homes in the neighborhood sat vacant or abandoned.

In 2016, a school family endured raw sewage flooding outside their apartment for more than a month while their landlord did nothing. Seeing neighbors live through such injustice moved Matt and the Peace Prep team to respond, giving rise to OaksATL.

In 2020, OaksATL purchased, renovated, and repopulated the very building that catalyzed our mission, filling all 10 units with families at affordable rents. Now, as prices continue to rise on Atlanta’s Westside, we are still committed to preserving affordability, restoring dignity, and walking with neighbors for the long haul.
