The number of homeless people in Gwinnett County and in Lawrenceville only continues to grow.

While there are shelters & homes for women, children, and families, there are none for single men…

The F.I.R.S.T. Housing Center will change that come Spring 2025. A partnership between the City of Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, and the Lawrenceville Response Center, the Center will:

• House 8 men in single, apartment-style rooms for up to 90 days.

• Provide appropriate care for those with undiagnosed mental/behavioral health issues through trained case managers and mental health professionals.

• Serve men with criminal backgrounds through housing and connection to resources.

And you can be a part of this work!

From now until the end of 2024, you can purchase items for the FIRST Housing Center through a customized Amazon Wishlist or give directly to the Center. Click the links below!

Every gift and purchase will go to the men who will call the Center home.
