The West End Coalition Group Inc. emerged in 1992 out of area residents active in The Southern Leadership Christian Conference. Uella Calhoun, West End Coalition Group's president, and neighbors, armed with a grant from the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta, organized to prevent housing deterioration, blight and community destabilization in Atlanta's West End area bounded on the South by Lucille Avenue, Langhorn Street on the East, Ralph David Albernathy to the West, and Laurel Avenue and Interstate 20 on the North.

The West End Coalition Group is a center of activities including Community Block Parties to meet new residents, field trips for children, and parties for major holidays. It is active with Morehouse College and Neighborhood Planning U-T to stay up to speed on what's new in neighborhood revitalization and community development initiatives.

Uella Calhoun and other community residents were active with the Southern Leadership Christian Conference, meeting in the West Hills Presbyterian Church in 1991, dealing with community problems of alcohol, drugs and their consequences for area residence.
