How You Can Take Part: Community Engagement

Workshops • Why? The workshops are forums for diverse

communities across Atlanta to come together to express their individual and collective commitment to manifesting Dr. King’s principles.

• What do you do? Make wreaths to line the procession route and/or armbands to wear in the march.

• Facilitators will lead discussions with participants during the workshops to deepen their learning, understanding and connection to Dr. King’s teachings and each other.

477 Peachtree Street Successfully transitioned 196 shelter residents into permanent housing

With the transition complete, the building will no longer serve as a shelter

Under the direction of the United Way’s Regional Commission on

Homelessness (RCOH), a transition team comprised of government agencies

and all Atlanta Continuum-of-Care organizations offered permanent housing

options to all residents.

Long-term plans for the building have not been determined

The successful transition for the shelter residents would not have been possible

without significant support from and a number of organizations and homeless

service providers
