Volunteer With Atlanta Homeless Registry and Help Create the 1st By-Name Registry of People Living on Our Streets and Shelters

            Atlanta Homeless Registry - Shelter Outreach 

The goal of the Atlanta Homeless Registry is to create a by-name registry of people living on our streets and in shelters, enabling us to prioritize those most vulnerable and those at risk of dying on the street so that we can connect them with housing and services that meet their needs.


On the evening of Thursday, January 17, 2013, 100 volunteers are needed to conduct surveys with homeless people sleeping in emergency shelters. All volunteers will be trained and placed on teams supported by professional outreach workers and the Atlanta Police Department's Homeless Outreach, Prevention, and Emergency (HOPE) services team.
Court-ordered volunteers are not permitted to serve.  Volunteers with limited mobility may register for shelter outreach, but should not register for street outreach.

The Atlanta Homeless Registry is organized by the Office of Mayor Kasim Reed's Unsheltered No More initiative, United Way of Greater Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, and Hands On Atlanta, as part of the national 100,000 Homes Campaign. Unsheltered No More is a partnership between Mayor Reed and community leaders to dramatically reduce street homelessness in Atlanta.
