There will be
children and the elderly who will be affected the most by the summer
temperatures. Many who will work seasonal outdoor jobs will need
shower facilities on a regular basis and, of course, there are those
who have medical issues that are exacerbated by the heat. I simply
ask that we all be prayerful and sensitive to the needs of our
fellow citizens who happen to be in a state of homelessness right
now.
We are encouraged by
the ongoing progress that is being made in the effort to place our
customers in permanent employment and housing. Also, we added a full
breakfast meal to our daily services.
Community Concerns,
Inc., through Odyssey III is still in the search and development
stage of producing permanent housing with supportive services. We
believe this is the missing piece of the programmatic puzzle for
Community Concerns, Inc.
We continue to be
grateful to our funding sources: The Georgia Department of Community
Affairs; the Georgia Department of Human Resources; the Federal
Emergency Management Agency; the City of Atlanta; Fulton County;
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); Greater Elizabeth
Baptist Church; Temple Grove Baptist Church; Zion Hill Baptist
Church; Chapel of Christian Love Baptist Church; the Pepsi-Cola
Corporation; Board Members; individual supporters, volunteers and
friends.
Thank you for all you
do to insure the continued success of our mission. |
