Open 365 days a year, the Clifton Sanctuary is the oldest house-of-worship shelter operating in Atlanta. The staff, volunteers, board of directors and the guests invite you to become acquainted with our ministry through this web site, and we hope you will be moved to action and become a part of this ministry.
A Letter from a current guest;
“I would just like to take this time to thank Clifton Ministries for all that is has done for me as a man suffering from chemical dependency. From day one I was treated with love and respect. The Clifton Ministry staff are professional compassionate and caring. All of my physical and most importantly spiritual needs have been met. It is with their help that I now feel I have a solid foundation to build upon and take advantage of all that life has to offer. Thanks Clifton Ministries you have quite possibly saved my life.”

CLIFTON LIVING IS OFF TO A GREAT START!
One of the goals of the Clifton Board of Directors for the past several years has been to implement a permanent housing program. Recently, with the help of federal funding received through the “Federal Stimulus Plan” this dream has become a reality. Clifton Living – kind of like Southern Living – has recently placed three men in their own homes. The program works like this….to qualify for this program, a guest must have income that meets established federal guidelines (not too much, not too little). An apartment is rented with the guest, along with Clifton, as the lessee. Clifton Living pays the rent and utilities for a three to six month period of time. During this time, the guest is expected to participate in all Clifton programs and at the end of the three to six months, Clifton’s name will come off the lease and the guest will have their own home!
In order to accomplish the goals of this program, we have hired Mayme Grant as our Clifton Living Case Manager. Mayme’s responsibilities are to find apartments that are safe and affordable, qualify the guests into the program, and assist them in budgeting and other skills needed for independent living.
Congratulations to Robin, Mackie, and Quinn, and David for being accepted into the Clifton Living program and we look forward to hearing great things from you all in the future.
Editor’s note: The grant funding does not pay for furniture or other basic necessities. If you have some gently used furniture or kitchen appliances that you would like to donate to someone who’s just starting out, please contact Alice at (404) 373-3253 x1.
