In Atlanta, 2,000 people sleep on the streets at night, according to the Atlanta Mission . Georgia’s capital city is home to over a quarter of the state’s homeless population of nearly 10,000, according to the organization.
The unhoused population has grown by 33% since 2022, according to the Atlanta Mission. While new, innovative shelters opened to combat the issue, more resources are needed to help Atlanta’s portion of the state’s more than 10,000 unhoused people.
Homelessness can happen to you, me, or anyone just as easily at any given time, according to The Atlanta Mission website, which says the organization sees cases often happen due to a job ending, an uninsured home burns down, or a teen who gets kicked out of the house.
An Atlanta nonprofit called Flowing With Blessings , which was founded by Clarenton “Nicky” Crawford, is working to aid and give back to the city’s unhoused community.
Flowing With Blessings
Flowing With Blessings was born out of an agency of compassion to the unhoused founded by Crawford in February 2022.
