The Atlanta Children’s Shelter provides a total family service model exclusively to families facing homelessness with young children under the age of 6. Children older than 6 are unfortunately ineligible. A family facing homelessness may be living in a shelter, may be sleeping on a friend’s couch, or may be on the edge of eviction.
