For 50 years, the Georgia Head Start Association has been helping children and families build brighter futures, and this weekend I was proud to celebrate that legacy.
I’ve met parents who just needed someone in their corner. I’ve met educators who go far beyond the classroom. And I’ve seen firsthand what happens when we invest in our youngest residents early.
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their neighborhood, family income, or circumstances. That’s why we’ve made the largest investment in early childcare in Atlanta’s history and why I’ll continue fighting to make Atlanta the best major city in America to raise a child.
To everyone who has been part of the Head Start story over the last five decades: thank you. Your work has opened doors, changed lives, and created opportunities for generations of Atlanta families.
Congratulations on 50 years of impact.
Had lunch at Tribe & Spice on the Westside and I’m telling y’all now… Atlanta has some of the best local spots anywhere in the country.
Supporting local businesses matters because these are the folks investing back into our neighborhoods, hiring our residents, and helping keep the culture of this city alive. Good food. Good people. Great energy.
Westside showed love.
Where should I stop for lunch next?
Everybody deserves a safe place to call home.
Tammy’s story is powerful. After more than 20 years living outside, she now has her own key, her own space, and a chance to move forward.
She now lives in one of the 100 units we built in west midtown called Waterworks. Built them in only 10 months using modular construction. Atlantica Properties and Partners for Home are two of our partners. As well as five regional hospitals have units set aside here for homeless patients.
That’s why this work matters. Through Downtown Rising and strong partnerships across Atlanta, hundreds of our unhoused neighbors have been connected to housing and support. And we’re going to keep going.
I’m grateful for the outreach workers, nonprofits, housing partners, and advocates showing up every day to help change lives across our city. Atlanta is at its best when we take care of each other.
