    POLICY MAKERS & HOUSING AUTHORITIES

  • A small community store with a sign that reads 'R&J COMMUNITY STORE' offering Chinese food, Soul Food, beer, man u, moor, cigarettes, and a phone number. The store has a blue metal exterior with three arched canopies above the entrance. There are bicycles parked outside, and two people conversing near a wooden fence. An ice machine labeled 'ICE' is in front of the store. The sky is partly cloudy, and large trees are visible in the background.

what you need to know

Veteran homelessness has fallen nationwide, but Atlanta still faces serious challenges. In Georgia, 646 veterans were homeless in 2024, with Atlanta holding a big share, about 15% of the city’s homeless population, compared to the 11% national average.

High housing costs are a major barrier. 24.1% of Georgia veterans struggle with housing issues like high rent, poor conditions, or overcrowding. Home prices in Atlanta have jumped 55% since 2019, making it even harder for veterans on fixed incomes to find a place to live. Mental health struggles and lack of support can make the problem worse.

There’s progress! Veteran homelessness in Georgia dropped 7.85% from 2023 to 2024. Groups like HOPE Atlanta provide rent help, rapid re-housing, and other services, while projects like the upcoming “Veterans Village” near Atlanta will offer long-term supportive housing.

Our goal is simple:

prevent homelessness and provide dignity, stability, and hope for those who served.
