Our Resources
The GSHA does not operate any housing programs and we do not directly aid or refer people in need of housing. But we’re happy to offer these resources as a starting point for people looking for housing options:
Georia's Continuums of Care (CoCs)
There are 9 CoC regions in Georgia - the CoCs coordinate homeless services in their region and you can be assessed for services, just as shelter and housing. Here is a link for "coordinated entry" assessments to receive services:

Georgia’s Recovery Community Organization Development Project
For the past six years, Georgia Council on Substance Abuse (GCSA) has been working in partnership with Georgia Mental Health Consumer Network and Georgia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities to walk along side communities in varying stages of development of recovery community organizations (RCOs). RCO’s celebrate multiple pathways to recovery while providing support to people in or seeking recovery from substance use disorder as well as friends, family, and allies.
