Carrie Steele-Pitts Home

On May 27th, Carrie Steele-Pitts Home gathered on the Steele Bridge to accept a proclamation from the recognizing May as National Foster Care Month in Atlanta.

We want to thank Council Member Alex Wan for working with us to secure the proclamation, and his Chief of Staff, Lance, for presenting it to Executive Director Eloise Mitchell, Board Vice Chairman A.V. Powell, and CSPH staff.

We also want to thank our partners at for attending the event and for their continued partnership and support of CSPH since dedicating the Steele Bridge in honor of our organization three years ago.

This moment served as a powerful reminder that supporting youth and young adults impacted by foster care takes an entire community working together.
