The Fulton County Department of Community Development’s Homeless Division and the Fulton County GA 502 Continuum of Care (CoC) are seeking to partner with a nonprofit organization to assist with the establishment of a Comprehensive Assessment Center.
Fulton County and the CoC plan to transform Fulton County’s homeless system to effectively prevent and end homelessness. Accordingly, the alignment of the public and private resources and partners that fund and support projects in the homeless system is an essential step towards achieving a comprehensive coordination of services.
Pamela Roshell PhD, Deputy Chief Operating Officer for Health and Human Services emphasizes, “One agency alone cannot end homelessness and the collaborative approach is needed to create an effective and seamless strategy to work to end homelessness in Fulton County,” said Roshell.
Expected outcomes include:
The Department of Community Development will select one lead agency to work with the Fulton County Homeless Division and CoC to create a new countywide assessment center model. The lead agency will coordinate the delivery and coordination of collective impact homeless services for individuals and families who are at-risk of homelessness, currently homeless or formerly homeless that live in Fulton County.
Applications are available at www.fultoncountyga.gov/services/human-services/homeless-services/continuum-of-care, or can be requested at HomelessInfo@fultoncountyga.gov .
Applications are due by 11:59 p.m., on August 7, 2020.
Applicants can submit questions to HomelessInfo@fultoncountyga.gov
The Homeless Division will host a Technical Assistance Zoom call on Thursday, July 30, 2020 from 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.
