About Community ServicesThrough 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: Flood Assistance & Operation RecoveryFind information and resources about food, clothing and temporary housing for individuals and families who have been impacted by Georgia’s recent flooding. Donate to Operation Recovery and support your neighbors who are affected by the devastating floods. Learn more….
Rent, Mortgage and Utility AssistanceIn 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 AssistanceWe 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 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
