Decades from now, a thriving future won’t be a fantasy—it’ll be a reality, and it starts with Greater Atlanta families having access to basic needs to live a healthy life.
Right now, more than one in three families are unable to cover an unexpected $400 emergency, according to the Federal Reserve Board. Often, that puts families at risk of cutting one essential at the expense of another. For example, an unexpected need for new tires to get to work could mean having to skip a utility bill payment that month, putting the family at risk for further debt or even a service shutoff.
Families shouldn’t have to choose between the basics.
We’re working alongside our partners to make sure families across our region have what they need, starting with the roof over their heads, and extending to emergency savings, easy access to quality food, financial literacy, and more.
