What we Do

Our Impact

Able Housing Services Corp recruit individuals and/or families from shelters, broken homes, treatment facilities, addiction centers, group homes, and other facilities around Georgia. These individuals are named participants.  This program helps them to become self-sufficient.  Our goal is to get the unsheltered, extremely low-income individuals off the streets into a safe haven shelter and housing.  If you are a property owner, click here to see how donating your property will help place them in an appropriate living situation.  Collaborate with us to help improve their lives and the community.

1st Phase

Phase 1

In Phase 1, the recipients are assessed and begin working on small goals depending on their situation. Some activities include health, wellness, and counseling. Goals are set and within 30 days or when the recipient achieves 90% completions, they move on to Phase 2, the “On My Way” Program.

Phase 2

The Phase 2, “On My Way” Program is designed for the recipient to work on employment skills, apprenticeships, and financial literacy. When Phase 2 is completed, they move on to the “I’m Lifted” Program, which is Phase 3.

Phase 3

The Phase 3, “I’m Lifted” program allows the recipients to obtain financial assistance that go towards housing, employment, transportation, security deposits, and ultimately achieving self-sufficiency.

Why It Works

  • Walking with our recipients helps them to set & and achieve goals so it will help them to relieve stress and get physically fit.
  • We advocate with our communities to help support our participants.
  • By Partnering with Employers, Housing Authorities, Financial, and Medical organizations help us to expand the need even further.

What We Do

  • Provide case management to urge recipients to imagine their dreams, obtain certain objectives and activity steps, defeat their barriers, and keep housing.
  • Gain Support for low salary recipients to property owners to aid in past evictions, as well as help remediate poor FICO ratings of recipients (who are regularly denied housing) to be approved for move-in.
  • Provide financial assistance to help to take care of move-in costs for recipients leaving vagrancy, while helping them plan to keep up their lease independently.
  • Give transient lease/utility monetary help to families and people unavoidably in danger of losing their housing— particularly because of salary misfortune from COVID-19 — to unforseen instances of homelessness.
  • Associate our participants to all the assets they have to thrive through joining forces with associations all through the city of Atlanta — property owners, emotional wellness administrations, furniture gifts, financial literacy, and so forth.
