ANNUAL REPORT 2019 - HEROES AMONG US
DEAR FRIENDS, When you think of a hero, who or what comes to mind? Someone with superpowers, or someone who takes major risks to save the world? Someone who is strong and powerful? Those comic book heroes and world leaders certainly come to mind for many of us. We need heroes in this fallen world of ours—people to inspire us and to make us feel safe. However, I believe that a hero is more than that. I believe that you can find heroes all around us, especially here at Atlanta Mission. In his book Heroes Wanted, Rodney Bullard says “The world needs real heroes. Those who, complete with their flaws and areas of weakness, are made to walk forward in the way prepared by God… Heroes look at the harshest difficulties and are compelled by the deepest love to act… And the best of heroes invite other to join them to make a difference.” When I think of a hero, I think of Renee, one of our clients who took a courageous leap of faith to come to change her —and her son Noah’s—life at Atlanta Mission after years of being in and out of jail, living on friends’ couches, and abusive relationships. After a year of living with us, Renee has her first job ever, and is ready to create a stable, safe life for her and Noah. I think of Alex, Mallori, Diana, and the rest of the staff at Nelson who donated countless hours on top of their regular work hours drafting the design of Restoration House, our new low-barrier shelter for women and their children. I think of Charles, who gets up before dawn every Saturday to serve breakfast at The Shepherd’s Inn. He builds relationships with the men, ensuring that they feel cared for, respected, and seen. I am excited to present our 2019 Annual Report, in which you will read the stories of heroes among us, as well as learn about our updated Transformation Model, Atlanta Mission @Work—our new vocational training program, and Restoration House—our new low-barrier shelter for women and children. 2019 has been a big year for Atlanta Mission, and it would have been impossible without God’s provision, and the many heroes that are involved with Atlanta Mission, including you. On behalf of our clients and staff, I want to thank you for being a hero and following God’s call to love others. In Christ,
Jim Reese & Larry Mock

NEW TRANSFORMATION MODEL & METRICS Our Transformation Model seeks to best meet the needs of a diverse population, walking with them on a journey to security, stability, and sustainability. We have structured this work into four distinct phases in order to maximize support for the client and increase milestones and celebration of success. We strive daily for innovation, and continually pioneer successful new approaches to serve Atlanta’s most vulnerable souls, leveraging a groundbreaking Transformation Model which addresses both physical and relational poverty. We meet people where they are, provide them with hope, and support them step-by-step on their journey out of homelessness. Our model—coupled with our intensive data-driven analysis and monitoring—places Atlanta Mission at the forefront of a national movement to provide customized services for men, women, and children facing homelessness.

FACING HOMELESSNESS Over 6,000 People Came to our Doors Last Year Every person facing homelessness has their own story of the circumstances that left them without a home, including job loss, trauma, tragedy, violence, addiction, or other health problems. The majority of people facing homelessness have no friends or family to turn to and no healthy relationships anywhere in their lives. Our goal is to greet and care for these clients, learn their names, and connect them to internal or external services.

We aim to meet basic needs, including shelter, meals, showers, and laundry facilities, and provide a level of stability that creates space to build relationships. Once basic needs are met, our staff teams work to triage and assess any other immediate needs in order to point each individual to the best next step, either with Atlanta Mission or other providers.
Our Ambassadors build relationships and trust with clients. Once a client has decided they want to address the underlying causes of their homelessness, they complete a comprehensive needs assessment in order to figure out next steps, either with Atlanta Mission in Make Progress or with another service provider.

In order to best meet the needs of a diverse population, Atlanta Mission uses an interdisciplinary team to execute personalized services in five key areas: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, & vocational. Each client follows a personalized service program based on their needs assessment. Through these services, the goal is for clients to become rooted in community, retain employment, and become housing eligible.
Once residents have completed Make Progress, are housing eligible, have a sustainable income, and are rooted in community, they move into our Sustain and Grow services. The goal for the clients is to sustain the changes made in their time with us, and also continue to grow, inspiring others and sharing hope in the process.

“My grandmother is my hero,” says Renee. “She raised me good, put up with all my junk, and kept me and my children together. She’s always been in the back of my head telling me if things were right or wrong.”

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 - HEROES AMONG US
Renee had lived with her grandmother since she was fifteen, when she moved down to Atlanta from Boston. Renee had a stable, loving childhood and was raised in church. However, in her teenage years, she became involved with an older man who introduced her to drugs, and things began to spiral out of control. The next twenty years passed by in a blur for Renee. She had six children and tried desperately to keep her family together. She was in and out of prison on drug charges multiple times. But through it all, her grandmother was the anchor in her life. When her grandmother passed away, Renee lost hope. Her older son had followed in her footsteps and was in prison. Another one of her children was in juvenile detention. She was in an abusive relationship, and had no one to lean on. “I was staying on someone’s couch with my youngest son, Noah. My friend told me I needed to go to Atlanta Mission. Deep down in my heart, I knew I had to go there. God was like, ‘You’re going to do this. Period’.”
Renee and Noah arrived at The Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children on December 12, 2018 to try to get a bed. There was one bed left for the night at My Sister’s House, Atlanta Mission’s overnight campus for women and their children, and Renee said she felt a sense of peace and relief for the first time in a long time when she crawled into that bed the first night.

Renee participated in our Choose Help services for the first four months at our shelter. She got a birth certificate, official identification, and most importantly, had a stable, safe place for herself and Noah. She entered the second phase of the Transformation Model, Make Progress, in April of 2019. Having stable, quality childcare for Noah in our Child Development Program has allowed Renee time and space to focus on herself and rebuild her life. “My counselor, Ms. Rebecca, helped me a lot,” said Renee. She was able to properly mourn the loss of her grandmother and address other significant

trauma in her life. Renee’s Social Worker and Advocate both helped her set goals for herself and achieve them. Her faith has grown tremendously since she came to My Sister’s House—“I’ve learned to lean on God harder than I ever have before.” She took part in hard and soft skills job training, and got her first job ever as a cook at one of Georgia Tech’s dining halls. You can see the pride stretching across her face when she talks about her job. “I’m in charge of the vegan station, and now I can make the best vegan chili you’ve ever tasted.”

She and Noah are finally stable. They recently got their own apartment, and are moving out in January 2020. “Moving out of My Sister’s House is going to be bittersweet,” says Renee. “I’ll miss it, but I’m excited to start fresh and create a great life for Noah and my other children. We can be a family again.”
“I’m really excited when I look back at who I was when I first came here,” says Renee. “I’m a totally different person.” Her friends and family members are proud of her, which is incredible for Renee. She wants to eventually become a head chef, and would love to come back and volunteer in the kitchen at My Sister’s House one day. Her ultimate goal is to become a sign language teacher so she can help those who are hearing-impaired, a calling she has felt for years. “A hero is someone you can be proud of, and I’m not ashamed to say I’m proud of myself.”
Renee is a hero for many of the other women staying at My Sister’s House. She encourages them constantly and gives them “real talk” about why it’s important that they follow the rules and participate in services. She has fully embraced the services offered to her, and, most importantly, has been dedicated to changing her life for the better.

Every Saturday at 1:00 am, Charles Storne gets out of bed, heads to his church, opens up the kitchen, and begins cooking breakfast. His volunteer team of friends and family arrive around 2:30 am and they make nine pots of grits, ten pans of hash browns, 70 dozen eggs, and lots of turkey sausage.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 - HEROES AMONG US
Over the next few hours, Charles and his team deliver this homemade breakfast to four different shelters around Atlanta, including The Shepherd’s Inn, Atlanta Mission’s downtown overnight campus for men. Charles has been serving breakfast to men and women facing homelessness since 1988. “I guess it’s part of my DNA,” says Charles. “I’ve been doing it for such a long time, and my family has always been volunteer oriented.” Charles’ main goal is to build relationships with the men he encounters. “We’re not here to just feed one, we’re trying to give them some hope.” “Charles and his friends are true heroes,” says Hannah Richardson, Atlanta Mission staff member. “Their dedication and hearts for the Lord are truly inspiring.” He and his team are always on time, rain or shine, to serve breakfast to the men at The Shepherd’s Inn. Not only are they serving our clients, but they clean up after they serve so our kitchen staff can take a break.
Over the years, Charles has built relationships with many of the men he has served. It’s important to him to make the men feel seen and known. “Occasionally I’ll have a meeting downtown, and I’ll see one of the guys I’ve served or he’ll see me and, we’ll say ‘Hey!’. And people say, ‘How do you know him?’ I’m like, ‘Well, why wouldn’t I know him? He’s my friend.’”

Beginning in June 2019, Atlanta Mission partnered with Cara, a leading Chicago-based workforce development enterprise, to integrate their vocational training and job placement model, which achieves 70% oneyear job retention rates at a livable rate of pay. Our implementation of their model is called Atlanta Mission @Work.

Atlanta Mission @Work is an extension of Atlanta Mission that specializes in workforce development for clients who are ready to lift themselves out of poverty and homelessness. We do this through our innovative personal and professional skills training as well as access to employment opportunities. Our goal is for our 70% of our graduates to maintain a livable wage for one year on job placements as we align students with jobs that match their experience and interests. Clients are trained in 5 workplace competencies: A. TIME MANAGEMENT B. COMMUNICATION C. PROFESSIONALISM D. CONFLICT MANAGEMENT E. TEAMWORK
Clients attend 6 weeks of intensive job training and earn the right to be recommended to employers. Our Retention Coach, Don, continues to guide and follow their path for the next year, ensuring all graduates are fully established for long-term employment. We had our first cohort of men and women in July 2019, and have had four cohorts complete the program since, representing 50 people. We anticipate over 100 clients will complete the program annually.
“I have learned a lot through @Work, especially for creating and improving my resume and cover letters. No one has ever walked me through that before now.” -Irene “@Work has given me the motivation to get back on my feet and get to the next level.” -Tony “The @Work staff is knowledgeable and have a way of explaining things that isn’t confusing.

N O D Don Wilkinson has been on staff at Atlanta Mission in various roles for the last seven years. He has worked with volunteers, and has worked as an Advocate, helping clients make progress to end their homelessness. He currently works as a Retention Coach in the Atlanta Mission @Work program, and he says it feels like the perfect fit.
15
ANNUAL REPORT 2019 - HEROES AMONG US
@WORK SUCCESS METRICS ADMISSION: Number of clients attending @Work Program “It’s so cool to see clients come through the @Work program that I saw sleeping outside The Atlanta Day Shelter, or who I helped as an Advocate at The Shepherd’s Inn,” says Don. “@Work is like the culmination of the Transformation Model, and I get to help the clients on their final step to ending their homelessness.” As a Retention Coach, Don works with @Work clients that have already found a job for the first year of their employment. “My job is to make sure that they protect the check and keep the job,” says Don. “So, a lot of our concern over the years has been, well, hey, a lot of these folks, they can get a job, but the question is, can they keep a job? So, now we have a buffer and someone to help them think through any decisions that they may make so that they can keep the employment.” Don is able to inspire the @Work clients in a special and personal way, because he went through a period of unemployment prior to coming to Atlanta Mission. “And being able to share that with them is powerful,” says Don. “I know it’s bigger than just a job. Even though you may not have a job, that doesn’t mean that you don’t matter or you can’t inspire someone else.”
“SEND OUT” ELIGIBLE: Number of clients achieving Send Out eligibility FIRST PLACEMENT: Number of clients placed in sustainable employment JOB STABILITY: Number of clients employed for 30 days ONE YEAR RETENTION: Number of clients remaining in job and housing placement for more than one year
Don is most certainly a hero, because he cares so deeply about the @Work clients and gives his all for them daily. “Don has been so helpful to me,” says one of the clients in @Work. “He is patient and has given me the tools I need to succeed.” For Don, however, the real heroes are the @Work clients. “These folks are coming up here every day knowing that they don’t have a job. And they continually look for a job, they pound the pavement, and it’s just so inspiring. They are my heroes.”

While overall homelessness statistics are on a downward trend in Atlanta, it is alarming to note that greater numbers of women and families are now becoming homeless. Our Atlanta Day Shelter at 655 Ethel Street currently serves more than 3,800 women and children each year, providing showers, laundry, lunch, medical care, life-skills classes, childcare, and much more.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 - HEROES AMONG US
While these services are crucial for survival, many of the women and children we serve during the day must leave at 3 pm to find a place to sleep. For these women, finding shelter can represent the difference between life and death. Every evening, we must turn away women and children simply due to a lack of capacity. The Atlanta community has an immediate and urgent need for services and shelter beds for women and children experiencing homelessness. Meeting this need is Atlanta Mission’s top priority.
We are excited to announce that through the $17.5 million Giving Hope and a Future capital campaign, Atlanta Mission will reimagine our Ethel Street property to create Atlanta’s first low-barrier shelter, centered around trauma-informed care. This new facility will include highly innovative spaces and services designed specifically for vulnerable women and children. This will be called Restoration House.

God has been at work in all aspects of our Giving Hope and a Future campaign, especially with the architecture team from Nelson who generously created the building design plans for Restoration House as a pro bono project. The three main point people on the project are Alex Campbell, Mallori Hamilton, and Diana Ramos. Alex works as the Director of their Hospitality Studio—mainly designing hotels. Mallori is the Specialty Studio Director. She and her team design interiors for boutique hotels, restaurants, and social impact projects. Diana is a Project Manager, and her role has been the overall coordination of the production of the documents.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 - HEROES AMONG US
Since March of 2018, Alex, Mallori, Diana, and their teams of about 20 combined architects and designers have spent countless hours researching, brainstorming, and laying out the plans for Restoration House. Much of this work is on top of their regularly scheduled 40 hours per week. They have designed a building that is not only functional, but also designed with trauma-informed care in mind. Spaces, colors, and lighting have been designed to be calming and safe for women and children who have experienced extreme trauma. “We do a lot of social impact jobs,” says Mallori. “Before it’s been just like two or three of us that have been on it and for this project, the whole team is working on it. So, it’s been really cool from a bonding perspective for our team to work together and come up with resolutions, solutions, and to coordinate with the architects and Atlanta Mission staff. My team just as a whole has a huge heart for the project, so it’s been fun to see how we’ve bonded.”

“My prayer is that Restoration House becomes a wellspring of life and energy for everyone that’s there, and that they would see how much, not only God cares for them, but Atlanta Mission and the community itself cares for them,” says Alex. Alex, Mallori, Diana, and their teams are looking forward with anticipation for the opening of this new facility and how it will give hope to thousands of women and children experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. We could not continue our critical and life-saving work without heroes like Alex, Mallori, Diana, and the dedicated team at Nelson who have donated their incredible talents and their priceless time.
