Join us in thanking Atlanta's top executives for joining the 9th annual Sleep Out: Executive Edition on November 19, 2020 at The Home Depot Backyard and from their own backyards to stand in solidarity with Atlanta's youth experiencing homelessness and escaping trafficking.
4.2 million youth in America will face homelessness this year. According to the 2019 homeless youth count done by Georgia State University, there are 3,300 homeless youth in metro Atlanta alone. Thanks to our incredible supporters, Covenant House Georgia served over 1,800 youth experiencing homelessness just last year.
In the wake of COVID-19, we know that this number will be higher than before leaving youth experiencing homelessness in our city needing our help now more than ever. Many youth are continuing to brave an unstable job market, inconsistent housing with colleges and universities going virtual, and loss of community as physical distancing is vital.
Through this, Covenant House Georgia has been and continues to be committed to providing these young people shelter, safety, and resources for stability. This stability has been made possible for young people through the dedicated community members who raised over $1,070,000 this year through the Sleep Out! In a year with so much struggle, 130 Sleepers came together to surpass the $1,000,000 goal and break the record for the most raised at a CHGA Sleep Out.
