Have you wondered about people experiencing homelessness on the streets of downtown Atlanta - if and how their needs are being addressed? If so and you’d like to help, an important event is coming up and volunteers are needed. In order to accurately advocate for and deploy resources to address street homelessness in downtown Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District will coordinate the ATL Downtown Counts: Street Homelessness Survey sched...uled on Saturday, May 1, 2021. Masks, gloves, and other precautions will be taken to promote public health and minimize risk to all participants. Partner agencies including ATLPD, MARTA PD, GSUPD, and ADID Ambassador Force will be on hand for public safety and any emergencies. Additionally, we have partnered with Mercy Care to offer vaccines and Hope Thru Soap to offer homeless services for the event. The Survey event will host volunteers in 3 staggered shifts of 100, who will then be divided into groups of 5, to collect data by completing the provided brief survey of the area. Each group will be transported and assigned a small geographical portion of the approximate 4 square mile radius of downtown. A small amount of walking is required to ensure we are surveying each area as accurately as possible accounting for those experiencing homelessness. Physical contact is not required to complete the survey. Two additional shifts of 10 volunteers are also needed for the volunteer registration check-in/out table. Pre-event orientation will be provided. {Shifts: 8am-12:00pm; 10am-2pm; 12pm-4pm; and Registration Table Shifts 7:30am-12:30pm & 12pm-5pm} Volunteer here https://volunteer.handsonatlanta.org/opport/a0C1H00001uynHJ

During April we’re celebrating the impact of volunteering during National Volunteer Month. We’re thankful for the more than 5,000 volunteers who contribute their time and talents at Gateway Center each year.

As the year draws to a close and we begin to prepare for 2021, we hope that you are as inspired as we are by the courage of the individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Our unsheltered community cannot be comfortable in their fight to exercise their right to have safe and affordable housing, and neither can we. Let’s be a Courageous Community. Thank you Leek Street Photos for capturing this photograph.

WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE TO BE? 2020 has been a year that none of us will ever forget. From the devastating international impact of the COVD-19 pandemic to the realization of the need for more intentional conversations and actions addressing the racial injustices that still exist in our country. At Gateway Center, we have chosen to operate with a mantra that through this storm we will choose to be Courageous vs. Comfortable. Now more than ever, our most vulnerable citizens, the 3,200 individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Atlanta, are counting on us to be courageous. Are you COURAGEOUS or are you COMFORTABLE?
