Chatham County, with its stunning waterfront views and vibrant communities, is undoubtedly an attractive region. However, the rising cost of living, particularly in terms of housing, has become a significant concern for residents and policymakers. As Executive Director of Family Promise of the Coastal Empire, my team helps homeless families every day. Our nonprofit organization’s mission is to offer help, hope, and hospitality to homeless families with children in our communities. One solution to address this issue is the implementation of rent control measures in our region.
