With the recent economic difficulties, rent has become more expensive in Augusta. Causing a SHARP increase in homelessness in the area. Just 3 years ago, apartments in Augusta that were $750-$950 per month today are $1100-$1500. People already on tight or fixed budgets are often evicted. Contact us if a neighbor, coworker, friend, or proud family member struggling to keep their plight a secret.
