Georgia is committed to establishing, and is enforcing, standards and procedures to ensure that applicants and recipients for TANF are informed of assistance provided for victims of sexual harassment, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Family violence is assessed at application and renewal of TANF benefits, and during employment service assessments monthly. Free confidential services are available from domestic violence shelters and programs. Families can call this toll-free number (1-800-33-HAVEN or 1-800-334-2836) as needed anywhere in the state to find a safe place to stay for themselves and their children.
