How to Use This Georgia Housing Directory

Use this directory as a starting point for housing discovery, not as approval to move. People on probation, parole, reentry supervision, transitional release, diversion, court supervision, or with court-ordered residence conditions should confirm any address, shelter, sober living home, recovery residence, transitional program, room rental, or private residence with the supervising officer, attorney, case manager, or court-approved contact before moving.
✅ Verified Before You Call or Apply
