Nov 6The cost of housing instability goes beyond the monthly payment.According to "Home at What Cost?," a global report on how housing shapes safety, well-being, and life's biggest decisions (October 2026), people experiencing housing insecurity can experience negative impacts on their mental health, disrupt sleep, and make it harder to find stability in everyday life. People experiencing housing insecurity had 63% higher odds of reporting moderate to severe anxiety and 88% higher odds of reporting moderate to severe depression than people with secure housing. Home should be a place to rest, recharge, and feel secure, not another source of stress. At Habitat for Humanity Northwest Metro Atlanta, we believe everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Because housing is more than shelter. It's a foundation for health, stability, and opportunity.

About
Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta, Inc.’s (Habitat NWMA) history is intertwined with the larger Habitat for Humanity movement. The history of Habitat for Humanity International and Habitat NWMA reflects the passion, determination, and collaborative vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
The idea for Habitat NWMA took root in the mid-1980s. In 1985, Chrys and John Street recognized the significant need for affordable housing in their communities and met with Millard Fuller, who challenged them to create an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity in Cobb County.
Steadfast in their belief that everyone deserves a decent place to live, Chrys and John distributed brochures to local churches. With the support of the community, they assembled 12 people to form a Board of Directors and on April 01, 1986, Cobb County Habitat for Humanity was officially incorporated as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Later in 2008, Cobb County Habitat for Humanity expanded to include Douglas and Paulding counties and amended the affiliate’s name to Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta.
