By tanicorp | August 9, 2025

What is Community Health in South Atlanta?

Community health in South Atlanta goes far beyond medical care. It’s about safe streets, healthy food, mental wellness, and resources that are easy for everyone to access—whether you’re a single adult, parent, senior, or living with a disability.

A healthy community means:

  • Children ready to learn and play
  • Single adults and parents who can find jobs and safe housing
  • Seniors who feel connected and valued
  • People with disabilities who can access services—without barriers

That’s why the Thriving Neighbors Portal exists: to connect every South Atlanta neighbor with the support they need.

True community health means everyone can get help—no matter their age, ability, or background. The Thriving Neighbors Portal is designed to be:

  • Mobile-friendly and screen-reader accessible
  • Simple to navigate with clear categories for single adults, families, and seniors
  • Available in multiple languages (with more coming soon)
  • Easy to use for those with vision or mobility challenges
