Westside Future Fund is proud to celebrate a new milestone in our mission to support thriving, mixed-income communities on Atlanta’s historic Westside. This month, we welcome Rashaan Evans as the newest homeowner through our Home on the Westside program.

A dedicated faculty member at Spelman College, Rashaan recently closed on his new 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home – planting even deeper roots in the community he helps strengthen every day through education and mentorship.

For Rashaan, homeownership on the Westside represents more than just a new address. It’s an affirmation of his commitment to the future of a community steeped in history, culture, and resilience. And for Westside Future Fund, it’s another powerful example of what’s possible when we invest in the people who invest in the Westside.

Our Home on the Westside program exists to ensure that legacy residents and individuals like Rashaan — those who live, work, and learn here — have the opportunity to remain part of this vibrant and evolving neighborhood. We’re honored to walk alongside him on his homeownership journey.

Congratulations, Rashaan — and welcome home!
