State & City Resources
Augusta, Georgia: Disability Resources
On This Page
Augusta residents can seek support through the CSRA Area Agency on Aging, Augusta Housing Authority, and Augusta Transit. The CSRA network covers Richmond County and surrounding Georgia counties. Confirm the relevant program’s boundaries rather than assuming all services cover the entire metropolitan area.
CSRA Aging and Disability Resource Connection
CSRA’s ADRC counselors provide information and options counseling for older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, veterans, and families at all income levels. Services include eligibility screening and community referrals. The agency also discusses community-transition options with nursing-home residents and staff. Tell a counselor what help is needed and where the person lives.
Augusta Housing Authority Applications
The housing authority’s application page separates public housing, project-based vouchers, and Housing Choice Vouchers. Openings vary by program and sometimes bedroom size; the current page says the Housing Choice Voucher list is closed. Previous applicants should use the existing-applicant route with their confirmation number or Entity ID. Do not email Social Security numbers or birth dates to the general troubleshooting address.
Augusta ADA Paratransit
The city’s paratransit registration page provides the application for qualifying people with permanent or temporary disabilities. Applicants complete Parts A and B, while a licensed healthcare professional completes Part C. Alternative formats are available on request. Ask about eligibility, exact trip coverage, reservations, and current service notices before arranging travel.
Before You Contact a Program
- Describe current caregiving or daily-living needs when contacting the ADRC.
- Check which housing list is open and retain your existing application identifier.
- Submit all required paratransit sections and confirm travel arrangements before an appointment.
Keep Federal Benefits Separate
Local support and housing programs do not replace an SSA application. SSA’s Disability page[1] explains SSDI; SSA’s SSI overview[2] explains SSI. Apply for federal benefits through SSA. Starting a local service application does not file an SSDI or SSI claim.
