ACSS - CafÃ© 458 Atlanta, GA 30312 404.523.1239	Details: Once described by President Jimmy Carter as, â€œa place where the homeless can receive a hug, a warm meal and retain their dignity as human beings,â€ CafÃ© 458 is a life-stabilization program and restaurant for homeless men and women. CafÃ© 458 provides daily meals, case management and support services, which help our guests achieve personal goals that lead to self-sufficiency. Most VIPs (Visionary Innovative Partners) served by CafÃ© 458 have a history of mental illness, substance abuse addiction and/or physical disabilities that prevent them from working full-time. Located in the heart of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Historical District, CafÃ© 458 has been serving homeless persons since 1988. In contrast to classic soup kitchens, meals are provided by â€œreservation onlyâ€ to men and women who have been referred by another social service agency. Guests also are permitted to invite family and friends to dine with them twice a month, which helps them develop and maintain supportive relationships. CafÃ© 458 offers its homeless guests a true dining experience just like a fine restaurant. Guests are greeted by a host as they come in and are offered a menu from which to choose a healthy noontime meal. Volunteers serve as cooks and wait staff, and are encouraged to interact with guests whenever possible. For many of our guests, the lunch they receive at CafÃ© 458 is their only balanced meal of the day, and for far too many of our guests, it is their only meal each day. A choice from the menu, however, is simply a starting point in the process of empowerment at CafÃ© 458. Each guest also receives personalized case management to help them meet their goals for self-sufficiency. Potential guests participate in an intake interview and set achievable goals. Our case managers help guests navigate through the system to obtain benefits (such as VA, SSI, and/or SSDI), and access medical care and mental health services that will help them become self-sufficient. Additional supportive services offered at CafÃ© 458 include on-site substance abuse and dual-diagnosis support groups, financial management workshops, a clothing closet, laundry, secure storage space, counseling, Community Voice Mail, telephone access and a mailing address. CafÃ© 458 also continues to support its graduates through an aftercare program that invites them to dine at the CafÃ© twice a month and attend life skills workshops.
