ATLANTA, GA - The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved a 150-bed assessment facility to help homeless mothers and their children to break the cycle of homelessness. The facility was approved during the Wednesday, December 7 Board meeting Springdale Place in Atlanta, which is located at 2836 Springdale Road, will operate 24-hours a day, seven days a week with an assessment center and transitional housing program. Springdale Place does not fit the traditional description of a homeless shelter. Instead, the Housing and Human Services Department, along with community partners, will provide comprehensive services designed to help women find self-sufficiency. Springdale Place will include a childcare facility, a WIC office, Workforce Development programs, and a medical exam room and health consultation area. The facility will have a 125-bed assessment center where women and children can stay up to 120 calendar days and a 25-bed transitional component where they can stay up to 7 months.
