Mission: Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children's Shelter, was born out of necessity to address the huge homeless issue in the Metro Atlanta area. We are a nonprofit, 501c3 Corporation and a residential care facility which provides services for homeless children from 0-17 years of age along with their young mothers. We provide customized "Life Plans" that are designed around the physical, emotional and educational needs of our kids, while helping Mom get a plan of action to get back on her feet. Our goal is not simply to be a place of refuge, we are the "NEXT STEP" towards independence. We take our guests from homelessness, to hopeful, to a home of their own. Our program is a 3 - 12 month, high accountability plan of action where Mom is given life skills training, lives and works a budget and learns how to maintain and sustain the household she will eventually move into upon completion of our program. (Less)
