GET HELP: THE STABILITY BRIDGE

If you are facing an immediate housing crisis in Atlanta or Boston, we are here to help you anchor your home.

At Gate and Gable, we provide a "one-time bridge" for households that have hit a temporary financial hurdle. Before starting your application, please review our eligibility criteria below to ensure our program is the right fit for your needs.

Do you qualify for a Gable Stability Grant?

To be eligible for assistance in 2026, you must meet the following criteria:

  • [ ] Geography: You live in SW Atlanta, the Westside, Dekalb County (GA), or Dorchester, Roxbury, or Mattapan (MA).

  • [ ] The "Gap" Profile: You have a verifiable source of income (employment, disability, or pension) but have experienced a one-time emergency (medical bill, car repair, sudden rent/tax hike).

  • [ ] Future Stability: You have a plan or the means to cover your housing costs after this one-time bridge is provided.

  • [ ] Documentation: You can provide a copy of your lease (or proof of homeownership) and an eviction notice, utility shut-off, or proof of the financial emergency.

Note: Gate and Gable does not provide long-term rental subsidies or immediate emergency shelter. If you are currently homeless, please dial 2-1-1 immediately for local emergency services.
