The United Methodist Children\u2019s Home New Location<\/p><\/div>\n

The United Methodist Children\u2019s Home (UMCH) signed two leases that will provide The Children\u2019s Home with a new residential services location, a new administrative office and a new space for the ministry\u2019s historic flea market.<\/p>\n

The new residential program will provide future housing for clients currently under UMCH\u2019s care at the ministry\u2019s Decatur campus, including those currently served in the Independent Living and Family Housing ministries.<\/p>\n

A new residential base<\/h2>\n

UMCH currently houses approximately 80 individuals on its campus, all served by the Family Housing and Independent Living programs. Current and future residents will move from group home cottages that were situated within the campus to more modern and safe housing. The organization operates an additional residential location in Clarkson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe now have a new residential base from which to expand our ministry. This milestone opens a much wider path to continue providing services to people in\u00a0DeKalb\u00a0County, and to serve many more people in new communities across North Georgia<\/em>,\u201d\u00a0Hal Jones, The Children\u2019s Home president & CEO, said in prepared remarks.<\/p>\n

UMCH\u00a0also signed a lease for a new administrative and volunteer office space in the Building 400 in Tucker, Ga., a few miles away from the residential site. The relocation is in keeping with the ministry\u2019s previously\u00a0announced plan to move from its 77-acre campus at 500 Columbia Drive in\u00a0DeKalb County. The office space located at 1967 Lakeside Parkway incorporates roughly 50,000 square feet of flea market, meeting and training space. Cushman & Wakefield\u2019s Peyton\u00a0Wimberly\u00a0led the research and lease negotiations and will oversee management of space improvements. It is anticipated that the organization will occupy its new locations by early fall 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new space is perfectly suited for\u00a0UMCH\u00a0staff to provide services to clients in\u00a0Foster Care, Family Housing, Independent Living and Transitional Living. The site also provides a new location for the\u00a0UMCH\u00a0Flea Market, a decades-long tradition that will continue<\/em>,\u201d Jones added in a prepared statement<\/p>\n

UMCH\u00a0currently employs roughly 75 people\u00a0in addition to the support received from thousands of volunteers. The organization\u2019s new space will be used for services and events, such as Foster Care IMPACT trainings, foster family visitations, Care Connection volunteer training,\u00a0ILP\/TLP\u00a0mentorship and many other initiatives.<\/p>\n

Room for more<\/h2>\n

The Children\u2019s Home Board of Trustees agreed to sell the ministry\u2019s campus to the city of Decatur for $40 million. The proceeds will help UMCH reach more children and families across North Georgia.<\/p>\n

“In fact, the sale of our Decatur campus<\/a> enables us to grow the number of children and families we serve daily by 25 percent, from serving 240 people a day, to over 300 a day. Serving more children in more places is consistent with our vision and mission and is the reason our Board made this courageous, faithful and deliberate decision<\/em>,\u201d Jones added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
