Show Notes

Georgia lawmakers are addressing rising homelessness with a new bill, House Bill six eighty-nine, sponsored by Representative Kasey Carpenter. The bill aims to prevent people from losing their homes by setting up flexible local grants for local governments and nonprofits to match funds and fit their communities needs. Advocates stress the huge need, as family homelessness has been spiking lately. They point out that small loans can help families pay rent, keep jobs, and avoid bigger costs like shelters and medical care. The bill passed the House last month and is now in the Senate as the session wraps up.
