About Us

Children’s Restoration Network was founded in 1993 by Jim Cox and Cliff Kinsey. Children and women with children are the fastest growing segments of the homeless population, meaning many children are finding themselves without the safety and comfort of a consistent home. Few agencies address the needs of this group. That is what motivated Jim and Cliff to begin working with a shelter that housed women and children in metro Atlanta. Each year since, our organization has added to the number of children and mothers served.

CRN has always worked hard to ensure a great portion of donations go directly to the children and mothers we serve. In 2015, more than 91 percent of donations went directly into programs. Over the past 23 years, CRN has now touched the lives of over 56,000 homeless children and 15,000 adult women.
