Mission: Project community connections, inc. Is dedicated to permanently rehousing individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Pcci provides housing options and collaborates to provide ancillary services that promote personal and economic self-sufficiency.
Programs: Pcci facilitates a rapid re-housing program that is an important tool in metro atlanta's response to ending homelessness. Our program model is designed to move a family or individual experiencing homelessness into permanent housing as quickly as possible, ideally within 30 days of a client becoming homeless and entering our program. There are three core components of pcci's re-housing program: housing locator services, temporary financial assistance (tfa), and follow-up case management and services. In 2017 alone, pcci rehoused 1,125 individuals experiencing homelessness, of which 80% were stably housed at program exit. Geographic areas served include: the city of atlanta, clayton county, dekalb county, douglas county, fulton county, and gwinnett county. Further expansion to both henry and rockdale counties occurred in 2018.
