Atlanteans, Come Together: Supporting Each Other Through the Rise of Housing Costs

Atlanta is growing—fast.
With the influx of business, development, and opportunity, our beautiful city is rising in visibility, culture, and innovation. But with that growth comes an undeniable shift: housing costs are climbing, not just in the city, but throughout metro Atlanta.

More and more individuals and families are struggling to find affordable housing without sacrificing the environment they’ve grown used to—the neighborhoods, communities, and familiar streets that feel like home. For some, the only option becomes leaving Atlanta altogether—moving to another city or even out of state, which brings its own costs and complications.

At Singleton Legacy Homes, we see the impact this is having.
We see how rising rent affects more than just the wallet—it affects stability, access to healthcare, food, mental peace, and more. We also know that when housing rises, so do many other living costs: transportation, groceries, childcare, and medical care.

So what’s the solution?

We don’t pretend to have all the answers.
But we do believe in something timeless and deeply rooted: community.

As the saying goes, “Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.”
Our mission isn’t to create dependency—it’s to build a foundation of self-sufficiency, empowerment, and mutual support. At Singleton Legacy Homes, we’re not just focused on shelter—we’re focused on connection.

We believe that:

• Communities can grow their own food.

• Neighbors can support and uplift one another—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

• We can use our God-given gifts and shared knowledge to not only survive these times—but transform them.

We love Atlanta.
And we believe in her people.

Our home may be small for now, but our mission is big—and growing.
Singleton Legacy Homes is committed to being a resource for this city we love so dearly, and one day, we hope to expand our arms to serve communities across the country.

Together, we rise. Together, we thrive.
