More than 10,000 Georgians experience homelessness, according to a 2022
report
released by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. And one-third of Georgia's unhoused population is in metro Atlanta, said Partners for Home CEO Cathryn Vassell.
Each January, Partners for Home conducts its Point in Time Count, where hundreds of volunteers fan out to take a headcount of Georgians who camp out on streets, train stations and in creeks during the night. People are also counted during daylight hours as they come to resource centers to get a free meal, collect their mail, and take a shower.
