Congratulations to Union Mission on the grand opening of Emmaus House, a significant investment in expanding resources and support for individuals experiencing homelessness in our community.

The City of Savannah is proud to partner with organizations that are working every day to create pathways to stability, hope, and opportunity. Together, we share a commitment to building a stronger, more connected community where every resident has access to the support and resources they need to thrive.

We look forward to the positive impact this new resource center will have on residents and the community for years to come.

Recently, more than 150 students began their Summer 500 journey, stepping into opportunities to gain hands-on experience, build professional skills, and explore future career pathways across Savannah.

As these summer placements get underway, the City of Savannah is grateful to the many partners, employers, educators, and leaders who helped bring this program back, including Alderwoman Carol Bell, whose advocacy helped make its return possible.

To the students participating this summer: stay curious, build connections, and make the most of every opportunity. Savannah is rooting for you πŸ’š
