The 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. To learn more and get involved in our mission, visit the link in our bio. #HabitatNWMA #HousingIsHealth #AffordableHousing #HealthyCommunities
