Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Emergency Assistance
BCM Georgia’s financial assistance is dedicated to forestalling eviction and utility shut-offs by providing financial assistance to individuals and families experiencing a crisis such as illness, death in the family, divorce, or job setback. BCM Georgia will pay a portion of rent, mortgage, or utility bills in order to help our clients maintain stable housing. Financial assistance is available to families once in a 12-month period, and no more than twice in five years.
Foundation 3™
Through Foundation 3™ BCM Georgia helps working, homeless families build a solid financial future by focusing on three key areas: safe housing, stable employment and education. While enrolled, participants will receive financial assistance with rent and utilities for 12 months. Once these three areas are addressed through case management and financial support, clients are prepared to transition seamlessly into Budget for Life™ where they learn money management skills and continue on their path to long-term stability.
BUDGET FOR LIFE ™
Budget for Life™ is a 12-month virtual financial education program for working individuals and families. The program focuses on helping participants build the skills, knowledge, and habits to become financially stable. These skills will help participants make better economic decisions in the future. Participants are required to attend virtual meetings for case management, financial coaching sessions, and financial education classes.
Budget for Life™ is designed as a partnership. Program participants must agree to commit to program policies. Participants are required to make significant changes to their spending and financial behavior. In return, BCM Georgia provides substantial support services to help program participants reach their goals.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Provide client-centered financial assistance and financial literacy programs that lead to self-sufficiency.
1. Provide services that lead to self sufficiency
2. Establish infrastructure that more effectively meets client needs
3. Attract sufficient resources for our mission
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Goal 1: Provide services that that lead to self-sufficiency
A. Adopt and maintain a “client-centered" program philosophy.
B. Develop and maintain formal partnerships to enhance client services.
C. Evaluate programs for mission alignment, effectiveness and efficiency.
Goal 2: Establish infrastructure that more effectively meets client needs
A. Implement technology recommendations which support virtual appointments.
B. Assess the physical facility needs of the organization, including a review of best practices for providing human services.
Goal 3: Attract resources for our mission
A. Effectively market BCM to its target audiences and communicate key messages to those target audiences through specific communications plans.
B. Ensure that the organization has the financial resources it needs to deliver its mission.
C. Provide volunteer opportunities that meet BCM's needs and speak to an individual's call to service.
D. Maintain an engaged and active Board of Trustees
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
With 35 years of serving Atlanta's working poor, BCM Georgia is uniquely positioned to impact our community. In 1987, 6 prominent churches in Buckhead collaborated to solve what was becoming a recurring problem - they were seeing the same people regularly ask for emergency assistance. They realized that if there was a central location tasked with just this service, they would all be carrying out the mission of the church while more effectively impacting the lives of those served. In other words, use the adage of "teach a man to fish".
Today, our capabilities lie in our outstanding educational and case-worker staff; our prominent and involved Board of Directors, our exciting CEO, and our large volunteer base.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In 2022 we have added 3 staff members and are focusing on our core programs of Emergency Assistance, Supportive Housing, and Financial Education.
