It Starts with the Children
Almost half a million children in Greater Atlanta are growing up in circumstances that can imperil early childhood development, academic and career success, and family economic stability.


In United Way’s Public Policy Agenda – developed in partnership with Voices for Georgia’s Children – we lift up issues that address these adverse circumstances like expansion of school-based services that improve health and mental health; directing federal resources toward Career and Technical Education and subsequent employment opportunities; and improving consumer protections for renters, loan applicants, and those making use of subsidized housing.
