2016 ANNUAL REPORT | 3 Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Friends & Supporters,

Thank you for helping the Atlanta Children’s Shelter’s end family homelessness and generational poverty for 30 years. We thank our visionary founders, our dedicated past and present board members, our generous donors and sponsors, our tireless volunteers, our unwavering community partners, and our dedicated staff. It was 30 years ago that we started as one voice asking what can we do to help end family homelessness and soon that voice was joined by others. Collectively, those voices have become what we now proudly call the Atlanta Children’s Shelter.

Together we have helped over 5,000 homeless families regain stable employment and permanent housing. Together we have helped over 8,000 homeless children learn and thrive, but sadly family homelessness still exists. Each night in Metro Atlanta, an estimated 4,000 homeless women and children sleep on the streets. And over 1,000 of these children are under the age of 6. So after 30 years of our efforts, the tide of family homelessness persists and so must we.

In 2016, we were honored to receive the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award. The reason I often mention this is because I believe this award was the culmination of our 30 year mission and recognition of everyone who helped us achieve it. This award is also meaningful because it is only given once every 10 years. Here is a paragraph from the award program:

This award was given to the Atlanta Children’s Shelter for its work in the Metro Atlanta Community to raise awareness of social injustice, speak on behalf of justice, celebrate diversity, and impel action in building a better future for all. For your efforts to not only envision solutions to the many inequities that characterize the world we live in, but to also have the courage to act and to persevere in the face of some very challenging circumstances.

Those words describe everyone who has helped the Shelter become who we are today. But most importantly those words describe the homeless parents that come to our doors and who we help to escape their dire circumstances – homelessness, domestic violence, and generational poverty. Those words describe the homeless children in our classrooms who blindly place their trust in us so that they can learn, love, and thrive.

The homeless families that we serve work tirelessly and courageously to reach self-sufficiency. Their journeys are challenging, at times heart breaking, but they are also stories of triumph. Let’s take the words of the MLK Jr. Award as a prescription that each of us needs to follow every day with intention and purpose … Let us have the courage to act and persevere in the face of challenging circumstances to build a better future for all.

Thank you for enabling the Atlanta Children’s Shelter to do this for the past 30 years and we look forward to continuing our life-changing, and at times life-saving, programs and services with your continued support.

With Heartfelt Gratitude, Sandra Holiday Sandra Holiday, Esq. Executive Director

6 | THE ATLANTA CHILDREN’S SHELTER Letter from the Board Chair

Dear Friends and Supporters,

This year the Atlanta Children’s Shelter celebrated its 30th anniversary, a milestone for which we are very proud, and we recognize that not many nonprofit organizations will meet. Throughout 2016, we took the time to look back at our progress, and to recognize our humble beginnings and our founding partners. Since inception, the Shelter has helped over 8,000 children and their families overcome homelessness. We are proud of that legacy, and our year in reflection of that success only energizes us to plan ahead for the next thirty years.

The Shelter was founded thirty years ago with the simple mission to provide a safe and loving environment for the children of homeless families. We have evolved into so much more than that. Our present goal is to end the cycle of homelessness for the entire family, which means tackling hard issues such as generational poverty, affordable housing, mental health and access to quality early childhood education. The staff and Board of Directors at the Shelter are ready and willing to tackle these issues, and we have the results to show that the Shelter is accomplishing its mission, one family at a time.

In 2016, the Shelter served 66 children and 41 families. Of those families, 68% obtained permanent housing. Over the past 3 years, 100% of our families served maintain housing and employment. The Shelter works with the entire family, with a host of community resources, partnerships and support, for the benefit of these children.

The cost of providing these services and skills necessary to serve our mission continue to rise – the Shelter, our families, employees and partners are not immune to issues facing our entire community such as rising healthcare costs, rents, and stagnant wages. We have taken a very hard look at our expenses to maintain fiscal health. We have also invested more time and resources towards our stewardship and fundraising efforts. I am confident our efforts will make us a stronger enterprise in the coming years.

I continue to be amazed by the Shelter, the staff, the families we serve, and my fellow board members. Changing lives for the better is challenging, time consuming work, but our staff is the best at what they do. Billie Walker, Childcare Manager, was named the Georgia Association of Young Children “Child Caregiver of The Year” in 2016. Our Development Director, Barry Hundley, was honored by Xposure Magazine as their “Excellence in Community Enrichment” Vanguard Award recipient this past year as well. Last but not least, the Shelter was honored as “Best of Atlanta” in the nonprofit category by the Atlanta Award program.

I thank each of you for your continued support and generosity. I hope that your review of this year’s report will demonstrate our continued commitment to our mission, and the length to which your financial support goes to make a direct impact on the lives of the families we serve.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT | 7 Partnerships & Volunteerism

The Atlanta Children’s Shelter would not have accomplished the things it has over the past 30 years without the great volunteerism and partnerships it receives from individuals and community groups. One of those groups is Community Advanced Practice Nurses (CAPN) led by its Executive Director, Connie Buchanan. She works tirelessly to make healthcare accessible to homeless families – at no cost – because she believes that access to healthcare empowers people and restores communities.

The Atlanta Children’s Shelter began its partnership with CAPN in 2004, and since then they have provided over 4,300 clinic appointments to the homeless families at the Atlanta Children’s Shelter. Through these visits, CAPN has provided healthcare and health education to over 780 homeless children and over 350 homeless parents.

Note from Nurse Connie …

As executive director and a nurse practitioner, I am quick to tell everyone about the value of our partnership. My experience with ACS actually began in 1986 when I was a graduate student at GSU. I was working on my masters and had the opportunity to provide physical and developmental exams for the children. It was my first introduction to healthcare for children who were living in cars, shelters and on the street. One sweet little girl gave me two different names when I was providing care for her. When I asked her for an explanation, she said that one name was when she was living in Texas and the other name was for living in Atlanta. She and her mother were afraid her Daddy would find them and hurt them if he knew where she was. My world had suddenly changed; I opened up to the countless problems that families face during incredibly difficult times.

CAPN’s partnership with ACS is a tremendous opportunity to support the missions of both organizations. ACS is able to expand the scope of services that their families receive – CAPN is able to provide care for children where they learn and play, and interact with their families in a friendly setting, while evaluating their physical, emotional and developmental health. Working with ACS allows us to provide care for the children and families as a team. Families who have lost all of their personal support become part of a caring community as members of the ACS program, and that community surrounds them for months and years after stabilization.
