GEORGIA CROSSROADS FOUNDATION, INC. MISSION STATMENT

Georgia Crossroads Foundation believes that the best way to effect change is to provide resources to empower those living and working closest to where problems are located to initiate the change from the inside out. We believe that change is effected by (1) promoting collaborations between the community and nonprofits, government and business sectors; and (2) encouraging and facilitating participation of those in problem communities who are often on the fringes of society and otherwise voiceless. Among Georgia Crossroads primary initiatives are affordable senior and veteran housing, youth mentoring and financial literacy for seniors, aged out foster children and single parents. Unquestionably, affordable housing and literacy support programs not only improve the economic status of residents but such programs have the added benefit of transforming neighborhoods and stabilizes the lives of those in that community. It has often been said that, "Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor".
