A stable place to call home, and a fresh start to build on.
Furnished rooms in a clean, structured, drug- and alcohol-free home for independent adults who are ready for their next chapter.
Life begins again here.
Whether you're coming home from incarceration, leaving a hospital or shelter, or simply need a steady place to land, Collective Care Homes gives you a furnished room, a clean house, and people in your corner.
We keep the house calm and accountable, and we help you work toward the things that last: income, documents, benefits, and permanent housing.
Independent adults ready for a steady next step
Our home is built for ambulatory adults, with a focus on ages 40 and up, who can manage their own daily living. Veterans are always welcome, and we're glad to connect you with VA services and benefits.
One monthly rate covers the essentials
From first call to move-in
It starts with a conversation. Tell us where you are, and we'll tell you honestly whether our home is the right next step.
Call or apply
Fill out the short pre-screen online, or call our team. Case managers can refer on a client's behalf.
Quick screening
We confirm availability and fit, usually the same day, and complete a short intake with you.
Move in
We walk you through the home and house expectations, and keep your referring team or payee updated.
Simple, all-inclusive pricing
No separate utility bills. We accept Social Security, SSI, SSDI, VA benefits, wages, family support, and representative payees.
Built on dignity, structure, and second chances
Collective Care Homes is an independent shared-living program in Lithia Springs, Georgia, serving Douglas County and West Metro Atlanta.
Housing is often the missing piece
Too many capable adults leave prison, a hospital, or a shelter with nowhere steady to go. A missing address can stall a job, a benefits application, or a parole plan before it starts.
We opened Collective Care Homes to close that gap: a clean, furnished home with clear expectations, where residents can steady themselves and build toward permanent housing. We work alongside case managers, payees, parole and probation officers, and families so that everyone supporting a resident stays on the same page.
To provide a safe, structured, and caring living environment where every resident is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect, offering the guidance, accountability, and resources needed for personal growth and long-term stability.
What you can expect from us
Dignity
Every resident is treated as an adult with a future, not a file number.
Structure
Clear house expectations keep the home calm, clean, and safe for everyone.
Accountability
Daily check-ins and honest communication, with residents and their support teams.
Second chances
Your past doesn't decide your next step. We help you take it.
We provide housing, not care
Collective Care Homes is an independent shared-living residence. We are not a personal care home, assisted living facility, or nursing provider, and we don't provide medical or personal care.
That means residents need to manage their own hygiene, meals, medication, mobility, and housekeeping. If someone needs hands-on help, we'll say so up front and do our best to point you somewhere better suited. A resident may bring in a licensed home health agency at their own arrangement, and we'll cooperate fully with that provider.
