If your are moving from another state to Georgia and have nowhere to stay in Georgia i would advise you to try and find a place to stay before moving don’t move and go to this shelter the staff there do not care about the kids there they more faster to kick them out than helping them and I’m talking about they will kick you out for anything and anytime night time they will put you out on the street so if anyone else trying to move to Georgia for a better life work on finding a place of your own before moving it’s a lot of heartless people in Georgia especially this covenant house shelter too 💯

These staff don’t care about u they don’t help either they only help who they want/ the kids they like I been in here for months waiting to get some help with the housing cause I move from another state didn’t have no home no money nothing and they kick me out and I’ve been calling them like hell asking when would the housing be ready for me and it’s been months since I left there and I still haven’t got a call back from them or anything 💯💯

What a f___ ing scam!! Blame the current administration for the crisis America is facing

This place can be VERY beneficial if you're willing to invest in your future and be dedicated! They have a myriad of programs from helping you get back into school, to training to become a licensed security guard and rapid rehousing... The shelter life however can become like high school because some of the male residents are in gangs and I did feel lonely at times... Some of the staff can have nasty attitudes, but some of the other staff do seem to really want to help At-Risk youth... They feed you three times a day and require you to do chores to teach you responsibility! They have a eighteen month program called ROP which stands for Right Of Passage I believe which gives you semi-permanent housing and makes you pay rent and pay for your food to teach you how to be a self- sustaining adult... This shelter does have it's cons, but if you're determined, focused, and disciplined then you may have a found a place to change your future!!!

Is there a level of emergency y’all help people get services? Like real homelessness? Drug addicted youth. Do y’all have transportation services? My daughter is missing and I tried to call to see if she was there. Everyone loves her.

It’s cold my daughter got mad at me for telling her to clean up and she up and left everything new iPhone 10 clothes coats, new shoes, bed and everything. She is mentally unstable due to her threats she has made to herself. This was the last number she called in the call logs. I would be glad for her to get help if she wasn’t lying to get services. I ask if they could just let me know if she was dead or alive and they can’t tell me anything or any family like she is going to get killed by us. She is a child of a 100 disabled veteran so she has a want for nothing ever. She has disappeared and the way Atlanta is set up with sex trafficking my fear is on high right now! I was in shelters with her as a minor with a baby and she knows the help is avaible with a sob story! She should not do her mom like that and someone should have told her! She has been homeschooled because of behavioral issues stemming back from 2nd grade and the audacity of the society we live in.

So rilly jgssfgsd is wrong about the Covenant House -- very nice and accepting people there. You cannot live there, unfortunately, as you havs to be 18 to 21, BUT, they offer assistance to people up to 26. Doctor referrals, resources, a place to shower and wash your clothes once a day, food, clothes, free bus cards, etc. I just turned 21 today and used to live at one in Texas a few years ago, but have been getting assistance since a year+ ago. EXTREMELY helpful people.
