Fulton County Seeks Non-Profit Partner to Collaborate on Establishing a Comprehensive Assessment Center
Fulton County Seeks Non-Profit Partner to Collaborate on Establishing a Comprehensive Assessment Center
July 25, 2020
Alignment of public and private resources/partners that fund and support projects in the homeless system an essential step towards achieving a comprehensive system.
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:
- Reducing the number of households who experience homelessness
- Reducing the length of time households experience homelessness
- Reducing the number of households who experience another episode of homelessness
- Increasing transitions to permanent housing.
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.
