Who is homeless in Atlanta?

Homelessness in Atlanta is becoming an epidemic.  During the fall of 2008 more homeless started turning to Crossroads for help than ever before -- and that was before the first round of federal bailouts to the banks and automakers.

Over 32% of those we serve are women and children.

Of the 3,821 homeless Guests we helped last year -- over 32% were women and children, 466 were children.

About 17% of those Crossroads serves have physical and/or mental disabilities.

Those we serve with physical and/or mental disabilities are both the most vulnerable homeless -- and also those most likely to be chronically homeless.

Crossroads was of lifeline help to Antoinette who, at the age of 20 ...had two small children, was living on the streets ...and going blind
 

Thanks to specialized equipment -- and a group of dedicated volunteers who wrapped around Antoinette to help her succeed -- for years she has been employed.

Recently Antoinette purchased her own home -- and soon hopes to have surgery that may restore her sight.
