The Annie E. Casey Foundation hosted the Atlanta Thrive Summit at Pittsburgh Yards to address housing instability and systemic support gaps for Atlanta youth.
The Atlanta Thrive Summit, held on May 8 at Pittsburgh Yards, convened community leaders and advocates to discuss the urgent housing and support challenges facing young adults ages 14 to 24. Hosted by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the summit emphasized that rising housing costs and economic uncertainty disproportionately affect young residents, leaving many without stable living situations or access to essential resources like food and education support.
Central to the discussion was the Foundation's ongoing work in southwest Atlanta, including the 15-year Pittsburgh Homes Project, which focuses on transitioning renters to homeowners and expanding affordable housing options. Strategies such as the 'Thrive by 25' initiative were highlighted, reflecting partnerships with organizations like United Way of Greater Atlanta and CareerReady ATL to bridge gaps in workforce development and housing assistance for young adults.
