As housing costs continue to rise, some renters are turning to “rent now, pay later” services to help manage the timing of their monthly rent payments.

These services may offer flexibility for renters managing tight cash flow, but they can also come with fees that may add to financial strain.

For us, this conversation highlights a larger issue: when rent takes up a significant share of a household’s income, even small financial disruptions can create housing instability.

Atlanta leads the country in evictions - with a filing rate of 24%.

But what does that mean?

📊 24% of Atlanta landlords filed for an eviction
📊 14% of renter households received a court filing
📊 36% of those renter households faced serial (repeated) filings from landlords

Even though many cases are dismissed or settled, these public records can create difficult barriers for future housing. This is where we can step in.

Helping individuals and families overcome housing barriers and connect with the support they need to stay housed.

“You can do incredibly hard things, but it’s a lot easier when you have a village and someone supporting you.”

We were honored to join Hope Atlanta for their Heroes for Hope Gala earlier this month! Decades after meeting as student-athletes at Georgia Tech, this year’s co-chairs, Rose J. Hunter Jones and Dr. Kofi Smith, reunited with a shared goal: helping prevent and end homelessness in Atlanta. 💙

With these Georgia Tech legends leading the way, the evening was more than a gala. It celebrated the corporate, civic, and nonprofit partnerships transforming lives across Atlanta, and it raised over $1.03 million, a record for the gala! 🎉

Proud to be part of the village working toward a more stable Atlanta. Read the full story: https://shorturl.at/j1Bjg

According to recent findings from Princeton University-based research team The Eviction Lab, Atlanta leads the nation in evictions - with over 142,000 filings as of June 2026.

Why is this?

Several reasons - the primary ones include rising costs of living and a shortage of affordable housing.

These findings underscore the importance of our work: connecting individuals and families with affordable housing, and providing financial assistance to help bridge the gaps.

This Saturday, October 10, is World Homeless Day - a day to raise awareness about homelessness, recognize progress, and support efforts to prevent and end homelessness.

Ending homelessness takes more than a single solution. It takes collaboration and a commitment to addressing the barriers that stand between people and housing stability.

This World Homeless Day, we invite you to support the organizations working every day to create pathways home.🏠

We know from first-hand experience that housing is just one piece of the long-term stability puzzle, and access to technology can be the difference between stable housing and homelessness.💻

The Gateway Center recently opened a free computer lab in partnership with AT&T and Compudopt, providing Atlantans experiencing homelessness access to computers, high-speed internet, and digital skills training to support job searches and employment.
