Southwest Georgia Children's Alliance, Inc., GA
The Southwest Georgia Children’s Alliance, Inc. (the Alliance) headquartered in Americus, Georgia, serves 17 counties within one of the nation’s poorest congressional districts. The Alliance has a long history of providing intervention for victims of violence, with caseloads increasing by around 10% annually.
Despite ongoing efforts, there is a critical gap in addressing the root causes of generational victimization, necessitating comprehensive assessments and preventive education. The project seeks to expand and enhance the Alliance’s comprehensive services in Sumter County. As the region’s primary resource for children and families, the Alliance operates the only Child Advocacy Center, non-shelter Domestic Violence program, and Children in Need of Services (CHINS) programming across six counties and runs the sole CASA program in these six counties plus an additional 11 counties all while collaborating with numerous local agencies and schools.
