Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless Founded in 1989, CSAH acts as a coordinating and leadership body for homeless services in Chatham County.

The CSAH mission is to lead the effort to build and sustain community practices to reduce homelessness to achieve “functional zero.”

10/27/2026

Homelessness can happen to anyone. A job loss, medical emergency, death of a loved one, family crisis, or rising housing costs can quickly lead to housing instability. For many individuals and families, homelessness is not the result of personal failure or moral shortcomings. It's often the outcome of circumstances that overwhelm available resources and support.

Because every person's journey is different, homelessness cannot be solved with a one-size-fits-all approach. It requires compassion, collaboration, and tailored, scalable solutions that address both immediate needs and the root causes of housing instability.

At CSAH, we work alongside community partners to connect people with housing, supportive services, and opportunities to rebuild their lives while creating lasting systems change across Chatham County.

Fresh produce, teamwork, and community connections! 🍎🥦

Each month, Abigails volunteers team up with the Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless, Forsyth Park Farmers’ Market, and Auspicious Bakery to bring fresh seasonal produce to Dundee Cottages residents.

From unloading crates and creating colorful market displays to helping residents choose from a delicious array of free fruits, vegetables and baked goods, our volunteers make a difference—one market morning at a time! 💚

Connect. Learn. Volunteer. Advocate.

Recently, volunteers, including students from Savannah State University, came together for our HomeComing at Florance Street Volunteer Event, helping assemble furniture and prepare our newest housing community, H.O.M.E. at Florance Street, for its future residents.

The community includes four two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments designed for adults ages 55 and older experiencing homelessness who have significant health needs. Every detail helps create a welcoming space where residents can begin building greater stability, comfort, and independence.

We're grateful to everyone who shared their time, energy, and care to help prepare these apartments for the people who will soon call them home. A special thank-you to the Savannah State University students who joined us in making this community a little more welcoming.

Sometimes, the first step toward stability begins with meeting a basic need.

Project Hope Water brings mobile shower services directly to individuals experiencing homelessness throughout the Chatham-Savannah community. But access to a shower can mean more than hygiene.

It can offer a moment of comfort, restore dignity, and create an opportunityto connect individuals with the resources and support they may need for the next step forward.

Through outreach and community partnerships, CSAH works to meet people where they are because every path toward housing stability looks different. Together, we can create a stronger, more compassionate community where everyone has the opportunity to move forward.

Did you know that 6,525 people accessed services through the Homeless Response System?

That number represents individuals and families connecting with resources and support as they work toward greater stability.

At CSAH, we believe ending homelessness takes a community-wide response. Through collaboration with service providers and community partners, we work to connect people with vital resource, creating pathways from the experience of homelessness and housing instability to housing stability.

Last week, community partners came together for Stand Down for Homelessness, an annual resource and job fair connecting individuals and families experiencing homelessness with opportunities, resources, and support.

From employment and housing assistance to health screenings, basic needs, and other vital services, the event brought many pieces of our community together in one place and created opportunities for people to connect with the support they need to take their next step toward stability.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Work Source Georgia, Savannah State University, the American Legion, Salvation Army, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, community organizations, employers, service providers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make Stand Down possible. Your time, resources, expertise, and willingness to be present make a difference.

Ending homelessness takes more than one organization or one solution. It takes a community willing to work together, build connections, and keep showing up.

Access to basic needs starts with a community willing to make them accessible.
Project Hope Water helps provide showers, hygiene supplies, and other basic necessities for individuals experiencing homelessness, but this work wouldn’t be possible without the community partners who help make these services available.

We’re grateful to Union Mission Emmaus House Resource Center, Oglethorpe Mall Library, and Southwest Chatham Library for helping provide welcoming spaces where individuals can access care and support.

We’re also grateful to Chatham County for funding Project HOPE Water and investing in access to essential resources for our community.

Together, these partnerships help make basic needs more accessible and create connections that can support individuals as they work toward stability.

Thank you to the partners and community leaders helping make Project Hope Water possible!

Recently, residents at Dundee were able to bring their pets to Paws on Dundee, an event held in partnership with Renegade Paws Rescue, where pets and their people received care, supplies, and a little extra support.

Residents had the opportunity to access different pet services, while Renegade Paws also donated pet food, toys, and other supplies to residents who were unable to attend the event.

For many people experiencing homelessness, pets are family. They provide companionship, comfort, and unconditional love during some of life’s most difficult moments. That’s why partnerships like this matter. By helping provide resources for pets and their owners, Renegade Paws helps remove barriers and makes it easier for people to keep their families together as they work toward stability and housing.

We are so grateful to Renegade Paws for continuing to show up for our community!

For many individuals experiencing homelessness, street outreach is often the first step toward accessing services, housing, healthcare, and other forms of support. But before any of those connections can happen, trust must be built.

CSAH's Street Outreach Team meets people where they are by offering support,
resources, and consistent engagement while recognizing that every person's journey is different.

Building trust takes time. It requires listening without judgment, showing
up consistently, and treating every individual with dignity and respect.

While outreach may begin with a simple conversation, those moments of
connection can become the foundation for life-changing opportunities and pathways toward stability.

Helping make a house feel like HOME.

We’re incredibly grateful to Skidaway Island Methodist Church for donating Welcome HOME baskets for residents of Dundee Cottages.

These thoughtful baskets help new residents settle in and create a sense of comfort from the very beginning. From cozy blankets and journals to snacks, hygiene items, and books for families with young children, each basket is filled with simple reminders that home is about more than four walls. It’s about feeling welcomed, supported, and cared for.

Thank you to Skidaway Island Methodist Church for being part of the journey HOME and helping us welcome our newest residents into the Dundee Cottages community.

Want to be part of the journey HOME for families, veterans, and individuals? Your support can help make a meaningful difference. Explore ways to support CSAH at homelessauthority.org/support.
