Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation Housing Relief Application

The Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation’s Housing Relief Program is designed to provide stipends for in-city housing coupled with financial literacy opportunities for the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department’s sworn firefighters. By providing a stipend for in-city residency, the purpose is to enhance public safety and foster stronger relationships between Atlanta’s firefighters and their communities. Applicants are eligible for a rental stipend of up to $1,000 per month based on the applicant’s base salary. All stipends are for a maximum of 12 months. The rental property must be located within the corporate city limits of Atlanta, Georgia, and subsidy payments will be made directly to the property owner or management company. Participants of the program are also required to participate in free monthly literacy sessions.
