Door to Door Housing Program
- Support 200 individuals and families to transition from homelessness into stable, permanent housing by June 2021.
- Provide case management to encourage clients to envision their dreams, create specific goals and action steps, overcome their barriers, and maintain their housing.
- Advocate for clients to landlords, enabling clients with low income, previous evictions, and/or poor credit scores (who are often denied housing) to be approved for move-in.
- Provide financial assistance to cover move-in costs for clients exiting homelessness, while also helping clients prepare to maintain their rent long-term self-sufficiently.
- Provide short-term rent/utility financial assistance to families and individuals imminently at risk of losing their housing — especially due to income loss from COVID-19 — to prevent episodes of homelessness.
- Connect our clients to all the resources they need to flourish through partnering with organizations throughout the city of Atlanta — landlords, mental health services, furniture donations, financial training services, etc.
