Our Human Services, Health & Wellness initiatives help families stabilize and foster long-term economic security and overall well-being. As families reach personal and professional goals, they can begin to build generational wealth and strengthen the communities where they live.
Life’s challenges can often feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. The Urban League is here to offer critical support to individuals and families during difficult times. We can help you overcome barriers to stability and success.
How We Make an Impact
We tailor our programs to address immediate challenges (such as job loss, rent or mortgage increases, loss of childcare, gaps in education and training, etc.) and simultaneously develop pathways to long-term stability. By focusing on holistic support, we help clients regain their footing and chart pathways toward a brighter, healthier future.
Get Involved or Get Help
Whether you’re seeking assistance or looking to contribute to our mission, we welcome you to join us in creating a stronger, more resilient community. Explore our programs, attend our events, or consider donating to help us expand our reach and impact.
Together, we can make a difference.
We are prepared to help with emergency relief in times of crisis through our Financial Empowerment and Emergency Relief Center. Our CERF offers financial assistance, especially for rent and utility payments, to individuals and families facing unemployment or eviction. The Fund also helps clients with training and upskilling to expand employability and earning power.
The Water Rate Assistance Program (WRAP) helps eligible low-income households in DeKalb County manage their water and sewer bills. As water rates increase to support critical infrastructure improvements, WRAP ensures that clean, safe water remains affordable for families who need it most.
