Located at 205 Bray St. Athens GA 30601, Our students have access to the bus line, and walkable shopping, dining, and employment opportunities. Students are placed at the discretion of the Student Services Committee. Each of our locations also houses a liaison. This team member helps keep our students accountable for living according to our guidelines. They are provided a free apartment.

All housing is located in Athens with central locations to allow students access to the bus route allows us to assist students at Athens Tech, The University of Georgia, The University of North Georgia – Oconee Campus and Foothills Charter School.
