WHAT'S NEW AT SPARC
Project 365
Project 365 is our year-round push to move families from an extended-stay motel into safe, permanent housing. Because every day a family needs housing, and every day we can help.
Families are working but can’t save, trapped by high costs and low wages. With one-time investments, we can end homelessness for families, one family at a time, and we can do that every day.
DeKalb Extended stay motel study
SPARC is honored to be the agency contracted by DeKalb County to conduct the Extended-Stay Hotel Family Survey. This study, now underway in DeKalb, is designed to better understand the experiences, needs, and challenges of families living long-term in extended-stay motels.
The data collected will help the County and its partners develop informed, effective strategies to connect these families with stable housing, supportive services, and long-term solutions that promote community well-being.
