Annie, a Florida native, has been in Atlanta for over 15 years. She was an accomplished basketball player in high school and continued on to higher education. In college, she started selling and using drugs. It went on for years which led to a nasty cycle of chronic homelessness. While on and off the streets, she lost touch with her children and her family; she lost everything. Life seemed to move on without her. The Quip program was the first program she enrolled in to recei...ve help. From there she was referred to the CaringWorks RISE program. The groups showed me how to live, she said. The program taught me that I can live a better life not out in the streets. Caring Does Work!

CaringWorks Hope House provides one-of-a-kind emergency or transitional supportive housing for homeless men or men facing homelessness in Metro Atlanta. Each year more than 130 clients call Hope House home while they move through their journey of recovery. Justin, Hope House alumni and current warehouse manager, details how his time at Hope House gave him the tools he needed to start over again after a life on and off the streets, and in and out of trouble. The steps that I... went through in these programs were very important to my eventual success. I also found something bigger and greater than me to believe in, said Justin. When I came to the end of my old self, that’s where my new life began.

A gift for you! GivingTuesday is a day to recognize and honor you! Today, we celebrate the volunteers, donors, corporate partners, staff and leadership team who enable us to serve the most vulnerable people in our community. We could not do this work without YOU. To quote a recent note from one of the 800+ people we helped this year - Without CaringWorks I don’t know how or when we would have acquired a place to call home. We came here in need. I was depressed, stressed, fu...ll of anxiety and hopeless. CaringWorks help me to understand that I was not alone and was here to help. Before entering this program, my son and I was sleeping in my car for months. I am forever eternally grateful. That is YOUR success! Thank you! If you are able to help us serve more people, we always need and welcome your gift.

Thank you to @Misty Creek and Erin for saving us this weekend! Our regular chef had to isolate after a brief exposure to someone with COVID-19. We still had over 50 men at Hope House who needed three meals per day! We reached out to friends and Misty Creek’s Sack Lunch Brigade stepped in. And of all miracles, they had 400 EXTRA sandwiches because our new friend Erin had just celebrated her birthday by having friends get together to make sandwiches. Our men had plenty of food ...for the weekend. Erin, happy belated birthday. You certainly made it a happy weekend for the men of Hope House. Caring Does Work!

Thank you to Wendy Corona of WSB-TV for telling the story of a very special Veteran in CaringWorks’ RISE VA program. Eugene is one of the many men and women with a story that needs to be told. If it wasn’t for this program and CaringWorks, I’d probably still be living on the streets, said Eugene Hardy Jr., a CaringWorks RISE VA resident. I’m grateful for this program. It has given me stability and self-worth. Eugene was chronically homeless and lived on the edge of a hig...h school in the woods. He chose to live near the track since it was important to him to have privacy, safety, and a place to exercise. After connecting with CaringWorks, he went from camping in the woods to an apartment in one day. Today, Eugene works out regularly with a group of Veterans, all with PTSD. They are helping each other thrive in the Atlanta community.

The role of housing to healthcare is dramatic. Nothing demonstrates that more simply than a look at mortality rates. People who are homeless have higher rates of illness and die on average 12 years sooner than the general U.S. population. Middle-aged homeless men and young homeless women are at particularly increased risks. (The National Health Care for the Homeless Council) Have a seat with CaringWorks’ President and CEO, Dr. Carol Collard, and listen to some harsh facts a...bout the relationship between housing and healthcare. Be a part of the solution to help end homelessness in Atlanta.

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant." - Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of strength, resilience, and compassion is a worldwide touchstone of civic responsibility and action. There are lots of ways to honor his memory and celebrate the contributions of others who stand for justice and equality for all. We feel the impact of ...his work on our home-front daily as we continue the work to foster dignity and self-sufficiency in each of our clients and end homelessness, one person at a time.

CaringWorks is one of the largest providers of supportive housing in the metropolitan Atlanta area, serving over 800 men, women and children in 2019! Working in partnership with a community of service providers, we share a common goal of ending homelessness, one person at a time. If you are homeless and need assistance, the first step is to register with the Coordinated Entry System in the area you have lived, or are currently living in. The systems typically have several acc...ess points. Simply dial 211 on your phone to speak with a live representative from the United Way of Greater Atlanta. They can help you find the most convenient place to register in the system. Outside of metro Atlanta, the State’s Toll-Free Hotline is: 1-844-249-8367 If you know someone who is homeless or could be facing homelessness, please share this information with them or your network of family and friends.
