Welcome to CHRIS Kids!
Our mission is to heal children, strengthen families, and build
community. Our core values are Creativity, Honor,
Respect, Integrity and Safety:
CHRIS.
Since 1981, we have delivered a broad continuum of critical services
to children, youth and families. Our work is guided by the voices
of those we serve. We offer a hand up that helps people help themselves.
We are here when we are needed
– in times of crisis and across a lifetime.
Our Programs and Services
Our Future is the Graham Circle
Project
The Graham Circle Project is a $12.1 million dollar project in
East Atlanta for youth ages 17 – 24, who are homeless, grow
up in the foster care system or who are parenting. The new program
is "TransitionZ" and will be operating at the new apartment
community "Summit Trail."
Phase I is complete! We rehabbed four existing apartment buildings
and constructed a new apartment building. There are 39 housing units
available at Summit Trail and our youth moved in March 2010.
Our remaining goal for the second phase is approximately $500,000.
A pending challenge grant is contingent on raising the remaining
amount. Individual gifts are critically important at this stage. This grant is matching each gift we receive over the next
few months 3 to 1. This means your gift will be matched
3 times! For example your $100 gift becomes a $300 gift. We need
you now more than ever!
