Atlanta landlord's $50,000 fundraiser grows into $16.5 million, helping 5,500 families avoid eviction

Jason Dozier initiated a fundraising campaign in 2020, which led to the creation of the Housing Stability Fund. This programme has provided financial assistance to over 5,500 families facing housing insecurity in the Atlanta area. By streamlining processes and collaborating with landlords, the programme aims to prevent evictions and court backlogs. Follow-up surveys indicate that a majority of recipients remain in stable housing a year later.
