The need for transitional housing in metro Atlanta and across the country is greater now than ever before.
According to homeless census data estimates, more than 10,000 people in metro Atlanta experience homelessness on any given night, with more than 40 percent being women and children.
A comprehensive, three-county survey of Atlanta's homeless shelters found a shortage of 1,700 beds for all single homeless people, including children and youth.
According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), between 700,000 and 800,000 people are homeless on any given night in the U.S., with between 2.5 and 3.5 million people experiencing homelessness during the course of a year.*
What do you think that we can do in order to cause these numbers to change?
