Gwinnett County residents who are struggling with food or housing insecurity,

or need help with health needs,

have a new place to turn to if they are struggling to figure out where to find assistance.
County officials announced this past week that they will begin offering navigators at

OneStop facilities in Norcross, Buford and Centerville to help residents in need

get connected with nonprofits and other charitable organizations which can provide

them with assistance. The navigators will be available through a program called OneStop 4 HELP.

 

“People who need help are often at wit’s end, exhausted or intimidated by the processes

necessary to get the help they need,” said Regina Miller, who is the county's community services

deputy department director. “Having someone to assist residents through the system

will help them get back on their feet again. A little personal help early in the process will pay dividends in the end.”

 

Residents who need assistance finding community resources can already

begin reaching out to navigators by calling 770-822-8850 or by sending

an email to OneStopHelp@GwinnettCounty.com. The in-person assistance at the

three OneStop locations is expected to begin soon, although county officials did not say when that would begin.
