Park Place Outreach

What Park Place Outreach does

Park Place Outreach, Inc. (founded 1984 in Savannah, Georgia, originally as Marshlands Foundation d.b.a. Savannah Runaway Home Outreach) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating two facilities on East Henry Street that deliver an integrated continuum of services to at-risk, runaway, and homeless youth ages 11-24 in coastal Georgia. The program portfolio comprises the Youth Emergency Shelter (Basic Center, 24/7/365, ages 11-17) designated as a Georgia Child Caring Institution; the Street Outreach Program (SOP) and Dobransky Drop-In Center operating in Chatham County; the Family Always Matters (F.A.M.) family preservation and case-management program; the Transitional Living Program (TLP) for homeless young men ages 16-21 offering up to 18 months of stable housing; the Coastal Georgia Rural Homeless Diversion Service (YHDP) for ages 18-24 across Bryan, Effingham, and Liberty Counties; a Day Center providing basic needs and crisis intervention; a Continuum of Care (CoC) partner network; and a Youth Advisory Board for lived-experience governance. Park Place is the only area facility where homeless or runaway youth can self-report without an agency or family referral, and it holds state licensing, Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless certification, and Council of Accreditation (COA) QRTP accreditation under FFPSA.

The business model is that of a community-funded nonprofit: all services are provided free of charge to youth and families, and there is no fee-for-service revenue. Funding is diversified across federal grants (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families), state appropriations via the Georgia Department of Human Services, county and city funding (Chatham County, City of Savannah Offices of Human Services), corporate sponsorships (Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Gulfstream, IKEA, Georgia Power, International Paper, Publix Charities, BankSouth), foundation grants (United Way of the Coastal Empire, Savannah Community Foundation, Matthews Children's Foundation), individual donations (including a tiered Youth HOPE Society monthly giving program at $15-$250+), affiliate-revenue streams (AmazonSmile, Kroger Community Rewards), and recurring fundraising events such as Savannah's Premier Derby Party, the Cornhole Tournament, the Throwback Band Party, and Mahjong in the Park. Marketing and outreach run through community events, the referral networks of schools, DFCS, DJJ, and local law enforcement, plus email newsletter, corporate partner visibility, and social media. The organization has served over 6,500 teens since 1984, employs an 11-50 staff team that includes approximately 20 case managers and youth advocate specialists, and is led by Executive Director Adriana Tatum-Howard under Board President Conni Reynolds.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Safe Shelter: Park Place partner providing 24/7 confidential services to domestic violence survivors in Savannah. Adjacent in mission and geography, but specialized in DV rather than youth homelessness—making it a regional peer with overlapping referral relationships.
• Old Savannah City Mission: Park Place partner providing food, shelter, clothing, and foundational services to homeless and low-income individuals in Savannah. Operates in the same continuum of care but is adult-focused rather than youth-focused.
• Inner City Night Shelter: Park Place partner providing shelter to chronically homeless adults in Savannah. Regional peer within the same Continuum of Care network; population served differs (chronically homeless adults vs. at-risk youth), but the emergency-shelter operating model and referral pathways are comparable.

Direct peers

• Family Promise of Greater Savannah: Park Place partner and full-service emergency shelter for families in the Savannah area, focused on shelter and long-term self-sufficiency resources—directly comparable in service modality and local geography to Park Place's family-preservation work.
• Union Mission: Identified as a Park Place partner, Union Mission operates emergency shelter, mental health counseling, and permanent supportive housing in Savannah. While it spans a broader client base (including adults), its emergency-shelter model and Savannah location make it a direct operational peer.
• Greenbriar Children's Center: Listed as a Park Place strategic partner, Greenbriar provides emergency shelter and counseling services for children and young adults ages 11–21 in the Savannah area—the same target population Park Place serves. It is the most directly comparable local provider in scope and age cohort.

Broad incumbents

• The Salvation Army: Major global nonprofit with deep presence in Savannah, offering emergency financial assistance, housing services, and adult rehabilitation programs. Comparable in the breadth of social services and emergency-shelter model, though operating at far greater scale and across many populations.
• Covenant House: National nonprofit providing shelter, supportive housing, and services to youth facing homelessness and trafficking. It is a scaled, multi-site analogue to Park Place's Basic Center and TLP, operating in a broader footprint with similar mission and core programming.

Others

• National Safe Place Network: Operates the Safe Place program (which Park Place partners with) to provide immediate help and shelter access for youth in crisis via designated Safe Place sites. Functions as an ecosystem coordinator and access-network operator rather than a direct shelter competitor.
• National Network for Youth: National advocacy and capacity-building organization for organizations serving homeless and disconnected youth. Park Place lists it as a strategic partner; it operates in the same ecosystem and serves many of the same member organizations.
