Dan Matthews Rector, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Frank Moye Senior Director, AFCO Real Estate The Rev. Fred Northup Founder/President Athletes for a Better World Jeff Van Note Former Atlanta Falcon, Radio Host Wayne Vason Senior Counsel, Troutman Sanders During this deep and prolonged economic downturn, we thought 2009 and 2010 would be our most challenging years. In reality, during fiscal year 2011 we served a record number of metro Atlanta’s homeless men, women and children — a 20% increase over 2010, and an overall 49% increase since 2008. Most heartbreaking for us continues to be the ever-increasing numbers of children turning to Crossroads for help. During fiscal year 2011 we experienced a 33% increase in the number of children — and a nearly 350% increase in the number of children since 2008. We also saw a 44% increase in the number of veterans A 46% increase in Guests ages 62 and over And a 700% increase in the number of chronically homeless Once again — thanks to hundreds of dedicated volunteers and donors — we are deeply grateful to have just barely made our revenue goals this fiscal year. However, our revenue did not increase in proportion to the sharp increase in demand for Crossroads’ emergency / essential and now housingrelated services. Clearly during the coming years we need to significantly increase all key revenue streams to continue to ensure we meet the needs of our homeless neighbors who turn to Crossroads for help. Mark Jones and Stan Dawson crossroadsatlanta.org What’s New — Housing Solutions ...for women and children, and chronically homeless men with a disability Housing Renewal for Women and Children We have been placing women and their children into safe, affordable apartments for over two years now. Through fiscal year 2011 — 132 total women and children had been placed into housing. During 2011 we also began to raise the bar by providing basic furnishings and essentials for those placed into housing. To help these families sustainably end their homelessness — we are now increasingly focused on helping the women transition from minimum-wage employment to living-wage employment. Angels Permanent Supportive Housing ...for chronically homeless men with a mental and/or physical disability During 2010 we began pursuing special HUD funding, and in early 2011 we received confirmation of our award. The special HUD funding will enable us to house 10 chronically homeless men with a physical and/or mental disability. Currently our plan is to launch this new housing solutions program during the fall of 2011. crossroadsatlanta.org Help Office and Mail Room ...a primary first stop for those homeless in metro Atlanta Crossroads is a primary first stop for over 4,300 homeless men, women and children each year. The Help Office and Mail Room accommodate over 60,000 repeat Guest visits each year. And thanks to the generosity of GE — the Help Office and Mail Room at Crossroads were completely renovated ...top to bottom. Emergency / essential services are provided at no charge to our Guests by the Help Office and Mail Room: A total of 4,302 Guests were served — and over 60,000 repeat visits were accommodated Each new Guest seeking Crossroads’ assistance attends a required orientation that highlights for them the range of help Crossroads can provide About half of our Guests arrive without any legal identification — and it’s impossible to end homelessness, rent a home or get a job without it — last year we acquired a total of 1,737 birth certificates, and 1,533 Georgia IDs A total of 6,528 MARTA cards were provided to help Guests get to job interviews, medical and other important appointments crossroadsatlanta.org Clyde’s Kitchen ...serves over 74,000 meals each year Clyde Corbin has been the Kitchen director for over 24 years now. He, his small staff, and dedicated volunteers rise before dawn to serve about 250 hot, nourishing meals each day. Sylvia Campbell (pictured top right with Clyde), a proud retiree from Coca-Cola, has now been the Kitchen Volunteer Coordinator for 10 years ...2001 to 2011, and still counting! Group Sandwich Makes — groups from companies like Georgia Power, King and Spalding, Kilpatrick Stockton, Hunton & Williams and more made and do- nated thousands of sandwiches. Atlanta Falcons players continue to arrive before each Thanksgiving to serve a delicious meal for Guests — and kick off the holiday season. Groups like Dunwoody Brownie Troop 29414 did food drives to ensure the Kitchen had the staple foods and supplies they need on an ongoing basis — and raised over $300. For well over 20 years now, the Friday group from Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church volunteered in the Kitchen. And the volunteers with St. Luke’s Episcopal Church’s Mustard Seed Garden grew — and donated to Clyde’s Kitchen — a whopping 1,000+ pounds of fresh produce. crossroadsatlanta.org Renewal Project ...90-day stabilization program The Renewal Project is a 90-day stabilization program that assists our able-bodied Guests. This year the Renewal Project: Helped 4,167 Guests 555 women — 13.5% 612 children — 14.5% — a 33% increase, and an almost 350% increase since 2008 1,167 combined women and children — 27% Placed an additional 21 women and 31 children into safe, affordable, permanent housing Assisted up to 132 women and children already placed into housing by Crossroads with temporary / supplemental rent, utilities, day care, etc. Emergency / essential services were also provided: 1,606 birth certificates acquired 1,400 Georgia IDs acquired 5,407 MARTA cards provided 302 Guests placed in detox / treatment programs Mailing address provided for the majority of Guests Free health care provided by Mercy Care for those with no health insurance crossroadsatlanta.org Dominic Heard Program Director Renewal Project Angels Over Atlanta ...for our Guests with physical and / or mental disabilities The Angels Over Atlanta program provides extended case management and essential supports and services for our Guests with physical and / or mental disabilities. This year Angels Over Atlanta: Provided extended case management for 135 Guests with physical and / or mental disabilities 5 Guests placed in detox / addiction treatment programs 21Guests placed in safe, secure housing — often including supportive services Helped 54 Guests initiate applications for Social Security Disability income benefits — average monthly income for Guests is $644.81 Secured nearly $100,000 in back pay for Guests Pro-bono attorney services saved Guests $15,086 Emergency / essential services provided as needed Emergency / essential services were also provided: 101 Birth certificates 101 Georgia IDs acquired MARTA cards provided as needed 5 Guests placed in detox / treatment programs Mailing address provided for Guests Free health care provided by Mercy Care for those with no health insurance crossroadsatlanta.org Emily McIver, LCSW Program Director Angels Over Atlanta Volunteers are the Special Ingredient at Crossroads Each year hundreds of people donate thousands of volunteer hours — and those volunteers help make incredible things happen. Below are highlights of just some of our amazing volunteers... GE this fiscal year — in addition to continuing to volunteer in the Crossroads Kitchen — donated all the materials, expertise and volunteers to renovate the Help Office and Mail Roomtop to bottom. UPS volunteers continue to volunteer in the Crossroads Kitchen, and they helped us brainstorm ways to involve other companies. Volunteers from law firms like King & Spalding, Kilpatrick Stockton and Hunton & Williams again did group sandwich makes — and donated thousands of sandwiches to Clyde’s Kitche. Each week attorney Peter Odom, with The Odom Law Firm, works in the all-volunteer Mail Room at Crossroads. And when Guests have legal matters that prevent them from continuing to move toward ending their homelessness — Peter provides pro-bono legal services that help remove barriers and obstacles. It is because of the talented, dedicated volunteers with special talents and treasures who so generously help us — that Crossroads is able to provide emergency / essential / supportive services to over 4,300 of our homeless neighbors in need at no charge to them. crossroadsatlanta.org People Make It Happen Our special thanks to all of our many dedicated individual donors.
