For the last 5 years we have been doing emergency relief in the Grove Park (Bankhead) community. We issue restoration grants up to $1000 to assist with rent, utilities, temporary housing needs, medical emergency needs as well as food and supplies. We have an emergency relief line (770-800-7317) that community members can call and our faithful restoration agents assist them quickly and discretely to get the help they need in a dignified way.
