Safe and stable shelter provides essential protection and nurturance for individuals and families.

  • If you need financial assistance, visit Critical Support.
  • If you need permanent or temporary housing, consider the below list of resources.

Additionally, Gwinnett County will open warming stations for residents to receive temporary, overnight relief when temperatures reach 35 degrees and below.

Residents who visit the sites will be able to warm up, eat a meal, and get some rest. The warming stations will be available from 6:00pm until 7:00am.
