About Atlanta Mission: The Shepherd’s Inn – Atlanta
Atlanta Mission’s Shepherd’s Inn is a nonprofit, Christ centered men’s shelter located in Atlanta, Georgia. They help men experiencing homelessness and they also help with mental illness and substance use disorder recovery.
Most of those seeking help are out of luck with few secure or trusted relationships. The center welcomes them in and helps them with the services they need, the first thing being a safe place to sleep and a meal.
If you decide you want their help, you’ll take a comprehensive assessment to determine your needs. After that you’ll accept residential services or they may direct you to an outside partner or program. The program’s goal is to help you become rooted in your community and live independently.
The services they provide include counseling, recovery education, life skills training, and educational and vocational services. The program also helps with job attainment. While in the shelter, you’ll have access to medical care and rehab classes.
After you graduate from the program you may still have the option of living there while you find housing and employment. You’re encouraged to grow relationships in the community as well as stay in touch with your counselors from the program to support your lasting sobriety.
