Huge “thank you” to those residents and businesses owners who attended the clean up on April 13th. We as a community have to ensure that we own Castleberry Hill and keep it picked up, that means everyday…pick up after your dog, pick up trash around your building and in the empty lot next door to you, get rid of the graffiti on the downspouts and dumpsters…CLEAN IT UP!

D2 City Councilmember Kwanza Hall and D4 representative Marshall Thomas from Cleta Winslows’ office were instrumental in getting things cleaned up this weekend. We had Atlanta Public Works, inmate crews, a street sweeper, dumpster and trash truck and in case you haven’t noticed everything looks great!

Please take a moment to read this important communication from Police Chief George Turner concerning enforcement of the City of Atlanta’s new monetary solicitation ordinance.   They are  distributing a FLYER throughout the City to help educate and inform citizens and other stakeholders on the new ordinance.

The new ordinance outlaws:

* Asking for money within 15 feet of  ATMS and parking pay lot boxes
* Soliciting money from anyone within 15 feet of a building entrance or exit or     standing in line to enter a building or event facility
* Touching during monetary solicitation
* Someone from continuing to ask for money after he/she has been told “no”

The City is working collaboratively on innovative solutions to end chronic homelessness. They are working with partners to assure that those arrested for violating this ordinance are evaluated to determine if they need services such as mental health care, substance abuse treatment, job training and housing assistance.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding this initiative, you may contact Carlos Campos, Public Affairs Manager,  at cacampos@atlantaga.gov
