Short-Term Housing 2024

CFR’s Short-term Housing Program plays a critical role in Cobb’s shelter system. Families with dependent children are housed in their own fully furnished apartment (leased by CFR) where they have safe, secure housing 24 hours a day. This is an alternative to congregate shelter programs, allowing families to maintain a higher degree of normalcy and self-reliance in their everyday routines. Eleven units are available through the Short-term Program where participants may live for up to 60 days. Families are also connected with the Center for Family Resources’ Rapid Rehousing Program for help in obtaining permanent housing.

Unfortunately, this program is only partially covered by grants. CFR relies on personal and corporate gifts to cover the remaining cost of rent and additional expenses. Consider a donation to help make sure we shelter more homeless children and their families and work to help them find permanent housing.
