Human Services

Mission

The Office of Grants and Community Partnerships assists in the coordination and development of resources and partnerships, both internally and externally. This is done through the Human Services Grants Program, the H.I.R.E. Learning Program, and through Research and Strategic Planning processes designed to support Fulton County's Human Services Delivery System in its efforts to educate, advocate and deliver effective services.

Grants and Community Partnerships Services and Programs 

Human Services Grants:  Human Services Grants Fulton County is mandated by the State of Georgia to provide quality human services to all citizens of Fulton County. This is accomplished primarily by contractual agreements with nonprofit organizations. The nonprofit community is a vast network of organizations that deliver a variety of human services to general and special populations. Nonprofit organizations play a pivotal role in service delivery because they are generally community based, community focused entities. The Human Services Grants program seeks to support new community partnerships and to nurture existing partnerships we have historically maintained.  

H.I.R.E. Learning Program: The HIRE Learning (Helping Interns and Researchers Expand Learning) program allows colleges and universities access to a wealth of community service, learning, and research opportunities through our vast service delivery network. 

F.R.E.S.H. Grants:  The F.R.E.S.H. (Fulton Roundtable Expanded Service Headquarters) Grant Program served over 178,864 Fulton County children in 2004 through grants awarded to 137 community-based organizations. These community- based programs are ultimately aimed to improve the achievements, values and attitudes of Fulton County youth.
