After years of being homeless, Herman Thomas, 42, moved into an apartment of his own. He’s one of more than 450 people who were formerly homeless and have received housing through an Atlanta program prompted by the pandemic.

At 42, Herman Thomas never had a place of his own.

He grew up in foster care, became addicted to drugs and eventually went through rehab. Along the way, he always slept outside or on someone else’s floor.

“I will say it has definitely been a journey with a lot of bumps in the road,” he said.
