OUR APPROACH

The Cost of Homelessness

Every year a neighbor stays unhoused costs that community roughly $40,000 — cycling through shelters, emergency rooms, courtrooms, and jail. Housing that same neighbor permanently, with the right support, costs about $12,000 a year. That difference, multiplied across 60 homes, is why Hand in Hand of Glynn is saving Glynn County more than $1,000,000 every year.

Why Brunswick Feels It Most

Brunswick is the only city in Georgia where more than half of households earn less than $25,000 a year, and 39% of city-limit residents live below the poverty line — a rate three times the national average. When an unexpected setback hits- job loss, illness, a hurricane, the loss of a spouse- there’s little cushion between stability and the street.

The Smarter, Kinder Investment

Permanent, supportive, and affordable housing isn’t just the compassionate response to chronic homelessness — it’s the fiscally responsible one. Every home at The Grove at Correll Commons is proof that the two aren’t in conflict.
