Gwinnett County officials and the Latin American Association recently announced the grand reopening of the LAA Gwinnett Outreach Center in Norcross.
The facility will serve as a vital resource for families and individuals facing housing insecurity across the county.
The venue was previously known as The Resting Spot.
“Everyone deserves a safe place to call home in Gwinnett County, and reopening this center brings us one step closer to that goal,” said Gwinnett County Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson. “By investing in compassionate, community-driven solutions, we are helping residents find both immediate relief and long-term stability.”
The Board of Commissioners approved a contract for over $1 million with the Latin American Association to operate the center.
The funding supports expanded services designed to prevent homelessness and promote housing stability for families throughout the region.
“One of our organization's many priorities, all of which are rooted in dignity and empowerment, is to continually assess the needs of our community and strive to meet folks where they currently stand,” said LAA CEO Santiago Marquez. “Our ultimate goal through the LAA Gwinnett Outreach Center is to end homelessness in Gwinnett County.”
The LAA Gwinnett Outreach Center offers temporary shelter, case management focused on financial stability, emergency rental assistance, tenant advocacy, legal support for eviction or housing discrimination, and direct referrals to permanent housing solutions.
