Hope Haven of NE Georgia
The primary purpose of Hope Haven of Northeast Georgia is to provide services for individuals with developmental disabilities who reside in the Athens-Clarke and surrounding counties. Hope Haven’s mission is to prepare, empower and connect adults with developmental disabilities to strengthen our community. We envision a world where adults with developmental disabilities will be able to fully integrate into the community independently.
Athens Area Homeless Shelter
Athens Area Homeless Shelter provides collaborative, comprehensive services to homeless individuals and families working toward sustainable independence. Looking ahead, our vision is clear: we are committed to innovative, family-centered solutions that help parents build careers, access education, and move into safe, permanent housing. We believe that when families are supported, children thrive, and communities grow stronger.
AAHS is not just responding to homelessness—we are reimagining what’s possible for families in Athens-Clarke County and beyond.
Athens Community Council on Aging
In July of 1967, a small group of concerned local citizens recognized the need for services supporting older adults in Athens and surrounding communities. Their efforts led to the creation of the Athens Community Council on Aging. Today the ACCA provides 14 aging service programs to 27 counties in Georgia.
ACCA’s mission is to promote a lifetime of wellness through engagement, advocacy, education and support.
