Who is homeless in Atlanta?
Homelessness in Atlanta is becoming an epidemic. During the past two years increasing numbers of homeless Guests started turning to Crossroads. Sadly, for the past two years we have seen a 149% sustained increase in the number of homeless children turning to Crossroads for help.
42% of those we serve are homeless women and children.
Of the 3,508 homeless Guests we helped last year -- 42% were women and 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. Extended case management is provided through the Angels Over Atlanta program.
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.
