Pathway Home is a supportive housing program through the Lawrenceville Housing Corporation. The program offers disadvantaged families with children in Gwinnett County the opportunity to gain stability, learn about healthy financial habits, and move toward permanent and safe housing. Pathway Home asserts that when families are able to live without the fear of being without shelter that they can foster healthy relationships and support stable, thriving neighborhoods and communities.
Pathway Home provides a 'hand-up' approach to working with families who have previously not had stable housing. Families are required to work closely with their case manager who sets individualized plans and goals to help each family take the necessary steps toward economic self-sufficiency.
Families have access to financial counseling and education, higher education opportunities, on-the-job training opportunities, child care assistance, summer lunch programs, job coaching, transportation assistance, and more. All families must pass criminal background screenings and drug testing to be eligible for the program. All families must have a head of household who works full time to remain in the program.
Pathway Home is currently working closly with Family Promise of Gwinnett to transition families from their 30-90 day program into a Pathway Home house. When Pathway Home acquires a stronger inventory of units, it may open a waiting list for affordable rental housing with supportive services.
