The best way to end family homelessness is to prevent it from happening in the first place.

For families living paycheck to paycheck, one unexpected expense, job loss or medical emergency can put their housing at risk. And when a family loses its home, the impact can extend far beyond the immediate crisis, especially for children. That's why Family Promise of Cobb County joins Family Promise National in recognizing the reintroduction of the bipartisan Eviction Crisis Act, legislation aimed at helping families avoid #eviction and maintain housing stability. As Carolyn Gordon, Family Promise's Chief Network and Program Officer, reminds us, every eviction prevented is an opportunity to spare children and families the lasting effects of housing instability. Here in Cobb County, we know that preventing homelessness is just as important as helping families recover from it. Through compassionate support, community partnerships and a commitment to lasting stability, we work toward a future where every child has a safe place to call home. 💜 Because keeping families housed changes lives.
