As we transition into a new strategic planning platform for the Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority all funding for Short-Term has been paused. During our path forward we will keep all of our Community Engagement partners abreast of the any changes in future funding and when we will resume accepting applications. We humbly apologize for any inconvenience this change will have on your organization and the citizens of Fulton and DeKalb counties for which such funding resources usually serve.
