STEP 2: Attend an application workshop

Once you have your documents gathered, call our office at 404-223-5180, ext. 100 to reserve a seat at the next workshop. At the workshop, you will complete an application and your personal documents will be reviewed to determine if you qualify. If the documents you bring are not complete, you may not be able to proceed to the next step. If your application is complete enough to move forward, we will collect a $10 application fee.
