In the City of #Atlanta, the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment has risen by 31% in the past five years. And the annual rate of increase is accelerating. AND many landlords also require 2 or 3 months' rent upfront. 💸

#AFFORDABLEHOUSING CRISIS: We're increasingly seeing clients seeking help simply because they can no longer afford their rent despite having income.

HOPE Atlanta and other agencies often provide transportation to warming centers. But since we believe being unsheltered is an emergency year-round, #housing is always our priority when we start working with a client. Learn more: hopeatlanta.org/wp-content/upl

Participants are often asked to show negative COVID or TB screenings, which is difficult without ID or transportation.

There are limited beds available. Some centers are separated by gender, meaning families can't stay together.

Emergency warming centers are available when temperatures fall below freezing. But staying warm for the night can be more challenging than it seems.

Have you ever wondered what happens to unsheltered people during extreme weather? 🤔 [A thread]

It's a special time on the spiritual calendar for Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. In their own ways, all three faiths remind us of our responsibility to each other and to the world. For all those celebrating, we HOPE the Spring holidays bring peace, grace, and togetherness. 🧡

#Homelessness is not a crime. Yet, GA #SB62 would make it illegal for a city to fail to enforce criminal laws against people experiencing homelessness for street sleeping, camping, or blocking a sidewalk. Our unsheltered neighbors deserve compassion and support — not policing.
