The Extension's Residential Recovery Program for homeless
men is the largest of its kind in the North Metro area, with an array of services unparalleled in the entire state.  Our Residential Recovery Program for homeless women began in May 2009 and has space for 20 residents.  In our programs the residents learn to become accountable to themselves, their families and the community.

We began in 1987 as the Marietta-Cobb Winter Shelter, and it was through those early years of providing emergency shelter that we saw first hand that the leading cause of homelessness for men in our area was substance abuse and its causes.  With the explosion of crack cocaine, the threat expanded and so did we.

Your support is critical for the success of those we serve.  Thank you for visiting our web site—we hope that you will spend some time learning more about our organization and how you can help.  We would also love for you to drop by sometime and see first hand the incredible life-change that happens everyday.

“I remember crying three years ago when they took the pictures for the church directory. Dwayne wasn’t there; I didn’t know where he was. Katie was just a baby. It was hard. Now, thanks to The Extension, Dwayne is home and our family portrait is complete. Thank you everyone.”
