An Atlanta-based multifamily real estate investment management company is working to combat food insecurity.
“Food insecurity is an incredible problem that we are facing today, and just in Georgia alone, 1.5 million people are food insecure,” said Cortland sustainability analyst Madeline Robertson.
On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Robertson talked with show host Rose Scott about the new partnership; Cortland’s environmental, social and governance impact; and how housing and food insecurity are connected.
“If we are putting more awareness and resources toward, you know, giving food to the food banks in Atlanta and making that more accessible, hopefully people will have more opportunities to get the food that they need. And then, maybe, they can feel that support from us and put the money that they do have toward their housing or they can try to rebalance,” Robertson said.
