Provides transitional housing and supportive services to employed, homeless families with minor children in North metro-Atlanta. HomeStretch Transitional is designed to help homeless families return to housing self-sufficiency Program provides 9-12 months of transitional housing partnered with structured, educational assistance. Families pay rent based on a sliding scale derived from their household adjusted gross income. Each adult member of the family must be employed full-time, drug-free and alcohol-free, and willing to participate in educational sessions. Educational sessions include workshops that teach important life skills, such as vocational training and money management. Every family receives an average of 400 volunteer hours, provided in part by Family Sponsor Teams. Family Sponsor Teams are assigned to every HomeStretch family. These teams are groups of trained volunteers and include personal mentors, resource volunteers and budget advisors. The average family pays down $6,000 of debt by the completion of HomeStretch program. Three out of four HomeStretch families successfully graduate from our transitional housing program and regain self-sufficiency. Upon successful completion of the HomeStretch Transitional program, families who need additional time to achieve housing self-sufficiency may qualify for the open-ended, long-term HomeStretch Permanent Supporttive program.
