Continuum of Care Information
Assistance to people experiencing homelessness in Georgia is provided through our Continuum of Care network, or CoCs for short. There are 8 CoC’s in the state that serves local areas. Below are Continuum of Care contacts listed by county, and a link to an interactive map where you can identify local homeless services access points.
If you are unable to identify resources using the information below, please contact the Balance of State's Toll Free Hotline or email us.
View an interactive map of homeless services access points.
If you’re experiencing or at risk of homelessness, Coordinated Entry can help identify resources to support you.
- If you are a victim of domestic violence: For 24-hour confidential assistance, call 1-800-334-2836 or 1-800-799-SAFE (Spanish: 770-479-1703). Additional information is available at https://www.gcadv.org.
- Contact your local coordinated entry provider to begin your assessment and get connected with resources.
- These organizations have access to DCA funding (i.e. Emergency Solutions Grants, Continuum of Care funding, others) that is used to help address homelessness and provide shelter or stable housing options.
- Most of DCA’s resources go to these community-based organizations who provide direct case management and service to individuals experiencing homelessness. We do not have funds to provide direct service ourselves.
