From The Corner Office

I founded Quest because I wanted to provide quality housing for people whose personal struggles made it difficult for them to remain permanently housed. Quest’s housing works because we offer our residents supportive services that helps them overcome their challenges, restore self-confidence, and re-establish their independence.

Leonard L. Adams founded QuestCDC in Atlanta in 2001 with a $30,000 investment and a mission to, “provide housing for those whose personal struggles make it difficult for them to remain permanently housed."

Twenty years later, QuestCDC is a comprehensive community development corporation providing equitable housing, health and social resources for residents of Atlanta’s Westside.

Quest helps residents overcome battles with addiction, mental illness and other chronic health conditions to become more self-sufficient. But to achieve lasting social change, Leonard’s bigger goals include giving residents greater control over the economic, social and political systems that impact their lives. Their support creates systemic change, making a more equitable future for those in underserved communities.
