How family and children's help works in Atlanta
Help for families comes in pieces — grab each piece from its own place. Childcare costs: Georgia's CAPS program pays part of childcare for working families; Head Start and Georgia Pre-K are free for little ones if you qualify. Diapers and formula: diaper banks and WIC. After school and summer: Boys & Girls Clubs, the YMCA, and city recreation centers run low-cost programs with scholarships most parents never know to request — ask.
If your family is in crisis — about to lose housing with kids, or a safety problem at home — say that clearly when you call anywhere; family cases move differently and often faster.
What to expect when you call: questions about your kids' ages, your zip code, and your income. Waitlists are real for childcare; get on several at once.
Foster Alight is the nonprofit behind reParents. It helps parents who are involved with child protection, at risk of losing their children, or trying to reunify with children who were removed.
