IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN NUMBERS

“I could have ended up dead. Thank God for the Atlantic City Rescue Mission. ”– 2009 WorkReadiness Graduate

Message from the President Why are people homeless? I get asked this question all the time. Each person is different, but some of the reasons that people become homeless include mental illness, substance abuse, gambling addiction, domestic violence, and medical issues.

They come to A.C. because it’s a 24-hour community; there’s always a casino, restaurant, or other business open for them to get a drink of water, use a bathroom, or huddle for warmth in a hallway. Some come to A.C. from other communities because they seek job opportunities and they become homeless after a job here doesn’t pan out. So what’s the solution? How do we SOLVE the homeless prob-lem in Atlantic City? Well, the Mission is ALREADY SOLVING THE PROBLEM. We’re getting people OFF THE STREET and into pro-grams that can address the issues that caused their homeless-ness. We’re putting people in permanent housing, training them, find them employment, helping them overcome addiction.

Please join us in being part of the solution.

Bill Southrey, President and CEO

“We all have the potential to be a blessing or a burden. But in 40 years, I’ve learned never to count anybody out.” – Bill Southrey

“I’m thankful for the Mission’s help with my bills. Now me and my kids can keep a roof over our heads”
