While Atlanta saw a 6% increase in overall homelessness during the 2026 Point-in-Time Count, there was encouraging progress for one group that has long faced unique barriers to stable housing: our nation's veterans.

In 2026, 241 veterans were identified as experiencing homelessness in the City of Atlanta – a 13% decrease from the previous year. This progress demonstrates what's possible when communities invest in proven housing solutions. Veterans are at greater risk of housing instability due to factors including PTSD and other mental health conditions, disabilities, substance use disorders, challenges transitioning to civilian employment, rising housing costs, and limited support networks. Despite years of progress, more than 32,000 veterans still experience homelessness on any given night in the United States. The good news? We know what works. Permanent supportive housing – combining affordable housing with individualized supportive services – helps veterans not only exit homelessness but stay housed. In fact, more than 96% of veterans housed through U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs programs remain stably housed. At 3Keys, we're proud to be part of that solution by providing permanent supportive housing and wraparound services that help veterans and other individuals experiencing chronic homelessness build lasting stability. Every veteran deserves a safe place to call home. #veterans #3Keys #HousingForAll #HopeBeginsWithHousing #EndHomelessness #affordablehousing #housinghelphope #supportivehousing #Atlanta
