Inner city Night Shelter
Serving Since 1983
Since 1983, Inner City Night Shelter has been an emergency shelter for chronically homeless adult men and women. We seek to provide counseling, shelter, and supportive services promoting various levels of positive changes in behavior, self-sufficiency and independent living. We have served over 1,400,000 meals to the homeless for more than three decades
Two-thirds of the people of the world go to bed hungry tonight. They are ill-housed; they are ill-nourished; they are shabbily clad. I've seen it in Latin America; I've seen it in Africa; I've seen this poverty in Asia.
"Dr. Martin Luther King"
Respect. Rest. food. Resources
Our Mission
We provide respect, rest, food, and resources to help the chronically homeless find their way back home. We encourage and promote high levels of positive behavior change, self-sufficiency and independent living through the offering of counseling, shelter, and supportive services.
Executive Director
Yvonne Pryor
In 2005, Ms. Pryor entered the social services arena and served on the Executive Board of Inner City Night Shelter. A year later, she resigned as a Board Member and transitioned into Case Management. As a Case Manager, Yvonne was the visionary that manifested the women’s division, Sojourner of Savannah, of Inner City Night Shelter.
In her efforts to expand the programs for Sojourner of Savannah, she resigned from Inner City in August 2011. By November of 2011, five students were enrolled in Sojourner of Savannah’s Educational Training Program.
Sojourner of Savannah, like Inner City Night Shelter, is 501(c)3 non-profit organization designed to equip homeless, as well as, low-income housed women with the necessary skills to obtain various levels of self-sufficiency. Forty-eight homeless and low income housing women have completed a nine week Certified Nurse’s Aide Program, passed Georgia’s Competency Exam and are presently on the state’s registry as Certified Nurse’s Aides.
In January 2013, Yvonne was asked to return to Inner City and now serves as the Executive Director of Inner City Night Shelter and Sojourner of Savannah, Inc.
