Transitioning those experiencing homelessness from the

SafeHouse Outreach located at 89 Ellis Street NE, Atlanta, GA 30303
A LETTER FROM THE CEO
I will always remember 2017 as the year of culmination of great strides at SafeHouse
Outreach. In just the past 3 years we have tripled our Program Staff, landing this year with a
group of individuals whose hearts ache to serve the hurting. There are two other points that stand
out to me that you will see within this Review.
First, we have made serious ground on our Four Strategic Targets. With intentional
teachings and guidance for our new volunteers and consistent structure within the programs that
serve our friends on the streets we have seen great results. You will read a story from Jonathon
who has established success and giving back as the mantra of his new life. You will also see
quotes and stories from individuals who are still stepping on the stones of the self-sufficiency
mountain to be climbed.
Second, is the way volunteers and donors have embraced our passionate desire to have
SafeHouse as a place that physically expresses dignity and self-worth to those we serve. Whether
volunteers and donors from the Whitfield Men’s Fraternity or partner organizations like HomeAid
Atlanta who helped build out our guest’s bathrooms at SafeHouse with tile and marble, it’s an
honor to be part of the value being expressed to our guests at 89 Ellis St.
With a goal of the long-term sustainability of SafeHouse Outreach; it is with the needs of
our guests and the hurts of their hearts that we continually press on to serving “Better” in 2018
and beyond.
Thank you for being part of the solution to bring faith, hope and love to the streets of
downtown Atlanta!
Striving for Better,
Josh M Bray
