89Ellis - Social Services
Our programs affect change in the lives of those marginalized by society
We serve our neighbors through time-tested programs. These programs are made possible by our dedicated staff, loving volunteers, and generous friends. The SafeHouse Outreach, based out of our 89 Ellis Street location, is responsible for all programs and service actions for those experiencing homelessness.
Our goal is to address barriers that individuals experience when facing homelessness. The department is divided into four programs: IMPACT, Atlanta Guardian, Problems Solvers, and the Career Development Program.
IMPACT
Hosts daily meals for individuals as the first step in developing client relationships.
Problem Solvers
Provides opportunities to build stronger ties with clients and help them meet emergency and non-emergency needs.
Atlanta Guardian
Providing a street presence in the City of Atlanta when everyone else is sleeping. Our goal is to become a presence in the city during the hours that everyone is closed, from 8 pm to 8 am, currently we have teams on the street 3-4 nights a week between the hours of 10 pm to 4 am.
Career Development Program
Multiphase program designed to assist eligible clients who are ready for housing and a long-term stable career.
