Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Monday, August 31st, 2026

On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, Brightside Child & Family Advocacy will host a community celebration for the opening of Bright House, located at 1008 Wolf Street in Savannah, Georgia. The event will begin at 4:00 PM, with the official ribbon-cutting at 5:30 PM. The celebration will mark an important milestone in Brightside’s work to create a welcoming space where families involved in the foster care system can heal and reconnect.

Bright House provides a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where children in foster care can spend meaningful time with their parents and loved ones. Through supervised visitation and family support services, Bright House creates opportunities for families to strengthen relationships and work toward reunification.

“Bright House is about creating a space where families can come together, reconnect, and focus on what matters most—their relationships with one another,” says Kate Blair, Executive Director of Brightside Child & Family Advocacy. “We know that reunification takes time, support, and a community that believes families can heal and grow. Bright House gives families a place where those connections can begin to grow stronger.”

The Bright House ribbon cutting will bring together community leaders, child welfare partners, supporters, and advocates to celebrate the new space and the role it will play in strengthening families in our community. Guests will have the opportunity to tour Bright House, learn more about its services, and see how the space was created with families in mind.

For children experiencing foster care, maintaining meaningful connections with their parents and loved ones can be an important part of their journey. Bright House provides a setting where families can spend time together in a space that feels warm, welcoming, and supportive—helping create opportunities to heal, reconnect, and build stronger relationships.
