…The Strategy
-
Phase I will be built for women, children, and families as we have more available beds for housing men that currently exist in the county. The Men's expanded shelter and services will be completed during Phase II. Current and future Day Center Services are open to all clients.

Yes, Frontline Response currently has MOUs in place with Grady, and is looking to expand to Emory for placement from hospitals. Likewise, we contract with the county to accept Coordinated Entry referrals and law enforcement drop offs of those recently released. Our exception remains for those with convictions for crimes against children as there are specific resources for those individuals. We will bring this same level of service to the new campus.

Future phases of the Villages at Peace include the development of housing and supportive services for youth and young adults ages 24 and younger, including individuals transitioning from or aging out of the foster care system. Frontline Response's leadership brings extensive experience serving this population and understands the unique challenges associated with housing instability, trauma, education, employment, and the transition to independent adulthood. Building on that experience, specialized programming and housing for youth are anticipated to be implemented as part of Phase II of the Villages at Peace development.

Yes, three (3) Day Service centers are already operating across the county with job training, financial literacy, and workforce development in security, culinary and other industries. This will be included, and expanded with job placement, through this campus.
