Homelessness in Atlanta Sees 14 Percent Surge in Families While Chronically Homeless Population Declines Says New Report

• Share on:

Financial pressures have led to a nearly 14% increase in families experiencing homelessness in Atlanta this year, with the total number of homeless individuals rising by only 1% in 2025, indicating a potential plateau. The report from Partners for Home highlights a 9% decrease in chronic homelessness, along with declines in homeless veterans and young people aged 18 to 24, attributed to expanded permanent housing options. Despite these positive trends, advocates emphasize the ongoing affordable housing crisis and the need for more resources to assist families at risk of homelessness.
