Our "Why?"
The Crisis
Our community is suffering from a growing opioid crisis, rising rates of drug addiction, and the resulting impact of higher crime, healthcare costs and number of children in foster care, as well as the countless lives torn apart at home and at work.
The Problem
Catoosa County and Northwest Georgia have a critical lack of services to cope with this crisis. We are ill-equipped to deal with substance abuse and other behavioral health issues – and have virtually no housing available for people to recover and transition to a self-sustaining life.
Our Solution
To meet this crisis head-on, Healthy Foundations was established to collectively impact the community of Catoosa County. This means bringing together multiple organizations that share a common agenda to create a thriving, safe, family-friendly community where all have pride in where they live and work and access to the services they need.
