Metro Atlanta is facing a housing crisis that is hitting its most vulnerable population, children, especially hard. As the city grapples with escalating housing costs and a shortage of affordable homes, nearly 12,000 students across the metro area are living without stable housing. These young people, spread across Cobb, Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties, are at the center of a growing emergency that threatens their education, well-being, and future.
