In the Atlanta Metro area, homeless services are often coordinated through a "Coordinated Entry" process. If you are in the City of Atlanta, you can dial 3-1-1 for immediate assistance. For those outside the city limits, dialing 2-1-1 (United Way) will connect you to local resources. Below is a list of shelters and housing services within a 50-mile radius, organized by county. Note: Many shelters require an intake assessment or photo ID. It is highly recommended to call first to check for bed availability and specific admission requirements.
