A nonprofit in Atlanta has provided over $16.5 million in eviction relief to more than 5,500 families, helping them stay in their apartments. The Star-C Program, founded by landlord Marjy Stagmeier, was initially launched as a $50,000 GoFundMe campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program has since expanded to include over 330 apartment communities and 64,000 apartment units in the greater Atlanta area. Star-C partners with landlords who commit to keeping rents affordable for low-income families. The organization's eviction-intervention model has inspired other landlords to join the program, which also provides additional resources such as after-school programs, summer camps, and food assistance. While the nonprofit is currently not accepting new applications for rental assistance due to reaching its maximum capacity, it continues to support families in need. The program's efforts have led to many families being able to save money and even move out of poverty, with some even achieving homeownership. The Star-C Program's success is a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives in addressing housing challenges.
