Our Programs for the Unhoused Community
Unhoused individuals, and those at risk of being without a stable home, face uncertainty every day. Through the generosity of our many donors, the commitment of our volunteers, and the work of our board, we are able to support this community with the following resources.
Unhoused Residents Can Access Prevention Services Within DeKalb County
Coordinated Entry (CE) is a service of DeKalb County that provides a starting point to help DeKalb County residents who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The individual or family is matched with the most appropriate available service based on a comprehensive assessment. Note that services are not guaranteed and are subject to client eligibility and current program availability.
How to Apply for Housing Assistance
The first step is calling 404-687-3500 (Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5 pm) to complete the CE comprehensive assessment.
