Supportive Housing Initiative

CREW-Atlanta's Supportive Housing Initiative is designed to break the cycle of homelessness and subsidized living.

CREW-Atlanta assisted in purchasing DeLowe Village, an apartment complex in East Point, Ga., and converted it to permanent, affordable housing with supportive services for homeless women and children. The goal is for families to transition to self-sufficiency, with a majority of the families achieving self-sufficiency within 12 to 18 months of entering the program.
Safe, affordable housing and on-site support services including parent education, life skills training and family planning classes help these homeless women and their families break the cycle of homelessness.

CREW-Atlanta teamed with Progressive Redevelopment, Inc. for housing redevelopment, with Corporate Supportive Housing for financial assistance and with Families First and the Georgia Department of Family and Children's Services for support services. This project, completed in May 2000, was designed as a prototype to be used again in Atlanta, in Georgia and around the country.

CREW-Atlanta is currently in the planning stage of developing another initiative to help more homeless women and children transition to self-sufficiency.
