Shelterforce reports on how Continuums of Care around the country have been impacted by changing federal policies. These local lead organizations coordinate services for people who are homeless and distribute federal funding. Examples in metro Atlanta include Partners for HOME and the Center for Family Resources.

Homelessness services administrators share their views on how proposed cuts, rapid changes to funding guidelines, and delays are affecting their work.

Behind every number is a person.

9,219 navigation services provided to our neighbors experiencing homelessness, from benefit and ID applications to transportation and crisis counseling. That means 9,219 moments when an unsheltered neighbor didn't have to face the journey alone.

This work is possible because of donors and supporters like you who believe every neighbor deserves a guide in their corner. Thank you for making it possible.

Housing funding programs are fragmented. One way to make limited housing dollars go further is to improve the systems distributing them.
