On Thursday, April 23, AVLF returned to the Fox Theatre to celebrate an amazing group of people for the All-Star Awards. We honored volunteers, partners, and advocates whose dedication powers our mission and transforms lives across Atlanta.

Acclaimed journalist and author Brian Goldstone joined us for “A Conversation with Brian Goldstone,” where he will discuss his powerful new book, There Is No Place for Us. His work explores the realities of housing instability and the ways communities are working to create safer, more stable homes—issues that are deeply connected to the mission of AVLF. 
 
Brian’s reporting brings national attention to the struggles many families face in securing safe housing, and we are honored to welcome him to the All-Star Awards for this timely and meaningful conversation. 

The AVLF All-Star Awards celebrate the volunteers, firms, and community partners who stand with our neighbors and make our work possible. Brian’s perspective will add an important voice to the event as we reflect on the impact of justice, advocacy, and community partnership.
