Samaritan House Clean Street Team Available To Help Businesses
Samaritan House Clean Street Team is a non-profit organization that engages a team of motivated homeless men and women in various community improvement projects as part of a supervised, highly structured program geared at helping them attain self-sufficiency. Each month they work removing litter and debris and clearing drains for the City of Atlanta, covering nearly 400 miles monthly. In addition to our contract with the City, we also work with several private companies and other metro area municipalities.
In exchange for their work, participants receive stipends and attend life stabilization and employment readiness workshops while actively seeking full-time employment and remaining drug free. One hundred percent of the businesses that hire our team are delighted with our work and renew their contracts with us each year; and eighty percent of Clean Street Team members have transitioned out of homelessness.
