Community Friendship, Inc. (CFI) is a comprehensive provider of recovery based services assisting adults in metropolitan Atlanta. Our mission is to provide a supportive community for people whose mental illness prevents them from participating in community life, employment and relationships. Incorporated in 1970, CFI is a non-profit organization that has been nationally accredited by CARF (the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) International for over 29 years.

A vast majority of members served by CFI are living below federally defined poverty levels, and many have no income at all. CFI is a vital part of the downtown Atlanta community and serves vulnerable individuals that many others ignore. We receive support from the state of Georgia and we accept referrals from a wide range of community agencies who know that CFI will help where others will not. Without CFI, adults with mental health needs languish in jail, spend time in overcrowded hospitals, or sleep on the streets. CFI’s outreach is a last chance for many who have become hopeless.
