For information specific to the state of Georgia regarding programs and various other forms of assistance provided for homeless populations, please visit https://www.dca.ga.gov/safe-affordable-housing/homeless-special-needs-housing. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) provides an online platform for resources, including housing solutions and other support services available for the homeless across Georgia. DCA also has special programs for disabled homeless populations, promoting those with disabilities to achieve independence and find protective homeless shelters for residence.
According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, "safety needs," which include protecting one's personal belongings, are one of the most fundamental requirements that humans have, coming immediately after "physiological needs," such as food, water and shelter. Many homeless people are unsheltered, meaning that they struggle with even the lowest level on the pyramid. RollingOn aims to address the fundamental "safety needs" level of Maslow's hierarchy by helping homeless people, especially those who are unsheltered, have better security for their personal belongings, as well as better mobility.
