🏠 Behind every eviction filing is a person, a family, a neighbor and a story. Metro Atlanta now has the highest eviction filing rate in the nation, with approximately 144,000 eviction cases filed last year across Cobb, Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties. That equals about 24 eviction filings for every 100 renter households, nearly three times the national average. For families already working hard to make ends meet, the threat of eviction can mean disrupted schools, lost stability, difficult choices and uncertainty about what comes next. At Georgia ACT, we believe Strong Communities Start at Home. Every person deserves the opportunity to live in a safe, stable home and to be part of a community where they can thrive. These numbers remind us why it is so important to listen to residents, strengthen housing resources and bring communities, housing providers, policymakers and partners together to find practical solutions. Georgia ACT will continue to center people, elevate community voices and advocate for housing solutions that help Georgians remain safely and stably housed. 📰 Source and Article Credit: FOX 5 Atlanta Read the full story: https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/why-metro-atlanta-now-leads-nation-eviction-filings #GeorgiaACT #StrongCommunitiesStartAtHome #HousingStability #EvictionPrevention #MetroAtlanta GeorgiaHousing CommunityDevelopment

🏡 Strong Communities. Healthy Families. Powerful Conversations. Georgia ACT was honored to be among a select group of invited leaders participating in an exclusive convening in Clayton County with Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (IL) to address the maternal mortality crisis and advance meaningful, community-centered solutions. Our President & CEO, Dr. Bambie Hayes-Brown, and Board Chair, Sherrell Byrd, were privileged to contribute their perspectives to this critical conversation. At Georgia ACT, we recognize that thriving communities require more than affordable housing—they require health equity, access to quality care, and healthy outcomes for mothers and families. Being invited to help shape solutions reinforces our commitment to ensuring community voices are represented where important decisions are discussed. Because strong communities start with healthy families, and every mother’s life matters. 💙 #GeorgiaACT #HealthEquity #MaternalHealth #CommunityVoices #StrongCommunities MaternalMortality
