Second, there is growing scholarly and…October 2018Services & Programs

I recently asked several friends and coworkers if they knew just how many children and families were affected by homelessness in the U.S. They were shocked to discover that an incredible 1 out of every 20 children under age six experiences homelessness. In Georgia, where I live, the statistics aren’t…August 2018Housing Discrimination, Systemic Determinants
