Summary & Background
Scope of Work: The Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) currently rents office space at County-owned 1249 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway NW, Atlanta, Georgia. The Division of Family and Children Services provides numerous family and children support services from this centralized location. The current lease will expire June 30, 2025. The Fulton County Department of Real Estate and Asset Management (DREAM) has received a request from the State Properties Commission (SPC), the space manager for all Georgia State entities, to extend the term of the current Rental Agreement between the parties, with all other terms and provisions in full force and effect, so that DHS may continue to occupy and provide services from the space for one year.
Approval of the Board of Commissioners is being requested to extend the term of DHS’s rental of 1249 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway NW, Atlanta, Georgia, from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
Community Impact: Approval by the Board of Commissioners to execute a First Amendment to Rental Agreement with the Georgia Department of Human Services will not adversely impact the community and will allow the Division of Family and Children Services to continue to provide their services from the current location.
