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.
