Housing Resources
If you and your family are facing difficult decisions, a few community organizations would like to help. Your family’s health is your first priority during this time; making sure they have plenty of healthy food is a huge part of that. As soon as you think you might need some help, we would like to encourage you to reach out to us. With the help of our community partners, we are here for you in several ways:
- Georgia’s Housing Authorities provide information on public housing and low-income/Section 8 programs. Search your area to see if there are any housing authorities near you.
- If you are between ages 17-24, CHRIS180 is an organization that provides counseling, family preservation programs, group homes, etc. to youth with mental health diagnoses.
