Transitional Housing Program
Providing longer-term housing for new resident families, to give them the opportunity to become financially stable and self-sufficient members of the metro Atlanta community. Families are provided with housing for up to 24 months. We currently have 36 housing transitional housing units spread throughout Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Fulton and Douglas Counties. Some of these units are specifically reserved for people with HIV and for battered women and children. Our units are currently at capacity and we successfully moved 11 families in to their own apartments this year.
First Month's Rent Program
Helping new residents with the acquisition of permanent housing in the metro area, including assistance with security deposits and utilities charges. Travelers Aid assisted 97 people with 1st months rent.
Housing First Program
A community-based, permanent housing program for the chronically homeless that promotes self-sufficiency and offers a full continuum of prevention, intervention, and on-going support services. The combination of housing relocation services and home-based, intensive case management with low case manager-to-consumer ratios, enables homeless families to break the cycle of homelessness. 106 clients were assisted with local transportation assistance, 68 with food vouchers and 26 with rent deposits. |
