Our Programs

Prevention

Our Prevention program is devoted to preventing families from experiencing homelessness in the first place. We offer rental arrears assistance, utility payments, and other wraparound services to keep families in their homes.

Diversion

When families are experiencing homelessness, we work to find solutions to move them directly in to housing when possible. The diversion program provides financial assistance for upfront moving costs to help quickly move families into housing.

Emergency Shelter

We operate a scattered site shelter for two families at a time using volunteer support. Families can live in our shelter program for 3 months and work with a case manager to find employment, transportation, and childcare.

Transitional Housing

In partnership with the Athens Area Habitat for Humanity, we operate two transitional housing units for families. With a year long lease at a subsidized rate, families receive case management support and stabilization services to help families work towards their next housing options.

Stabilization

Families in each of our programs are offered additional referrals and assistance including help with household supplies, diapers, hygiene products, and more. These resources are provided at our Family Resource Center, where walk-in hours are offered twice a week.
