About Community Services
Through our Community Services, we provide resources to families so that they can easily access help in a time of urgent need. With a focus on helping families keep their current housing, the program provides various types of emergency assistance including:
Rent, Mortgage and Utility Assistance
Spirit of Giving Holiday Program
Rent, Mortgage and Utility Assistance
In certain cases, we can provide temporary, limited financial and case management services to help prevent homelessness. Specific guidelines and policies are used to determine need, eligibility, amount of financial assistance and other resources necessary.
Food and Clothing Assistance
We distribute food and clothing to individuals and families facing hardship. The LAA depends on private donations to provide this service! If you would like to donate clothing, food, personal care products or household items, please contact Thomas Fuller at 404-638-1831 or tfuller@thelaa.org.
Health & Partner Programs
We work with a number of partner agencies who provide services at LAA sites such as free HIV testing, hemoglobin tests, Medicaid assistance, and blood drives. Check out schedules here.
Access to Community Resources
We can help eligible individuals access community resources such as Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Information and Referrals
We help individuals in need find the community services that can best eliminate that need, such as legal referrals, counseling referrals, emergency shelter, medical referrals, and other support services.
Spirit of Giving Holiday Program
We provide food and toys to families in need during the December holidays. Contact Irma Walker at 404-248-2236 or iwalker@thelaa.org to find out how to donate a toy or get involved!
