What programs do you provide?
Atlanta Mission offers overnight shelter to men, women and mothers with children at our various facilities who are suffering from either temporary or long-term distress. We encourage those whose situation requires longer term or more advanced care to enter into our Temporary Shelter program and commit to living at our facility for 14 days. During that time, Atlanta Mission offers case management where we sit down with the client and, together, work out a plan that can best solve their problems, ultimately ending their homelessness. Oftentimes, we determine that the client’s needs may be best served through one of our programs. Atlanta Mission offers a Job Attainment program (designed to aid our residents in becoming employed), a pre-transitional housing program.
