‘Never give up’ – Advocates explore solutions to Gwinnett’s homelessness and affordable housing problems

The people fighting to end homelessness in Gwinnett continue to amp up their efforts. Coming on the heels of the opening of Crest Pointe Village, a first-of-its-kind project to convert an old extended-stay hotel into affordable housing, leaders and advocates gathered in Lawrenceville this week for a town hall meeting to delve deeper into the twin crises of homelessness and housing instability. Gwinnett District 3 County Commissioner Jasper Watkins, who hosted the event, shared some stark statistics in his opening remarks. Beyond the 744 people on the streets reported in the latest point-in-time count, Gwinnett still leads the state in homeless students with nearly 2,400 having no permanent place to go after school. Watkins said that was unacceptable in such a successful county. “We’re supposed to be the shining light on the hill. But everybody has that secret behind the hill.” Much of the town hall focused on the hidden homeless, the people who are not literally on the streets but couch surf, sleep in their cars or call extended-stay hotels home. Cars or extended stays are where many of the homeless students live with their families, or more likely, just one parent. Those parents are overwhelmingly Black women. Their

Gwinnett's 15 state playoff football teams learn 1st-round matchups

For the first time ever, the Georgia High School football playoff brackets were determined by PSR, Post Season Rankings. As opposed to the previous format where the top four teams in each region earned automatic playoff bids and matchups were pre-determined by region, the new format takes every team’s winning percentage, opponent’s winning percentage and opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage into account and seeds teams 1-32. Region winners are guaranteed a top-16 seed and a home playoff game in the first round, but other than that PSR was the only consideration used to seed teams. A total of 15 Gwinnett County teams will extend their seasons to state. The state’s top classification, Class AAAAAAA, will have 10 Gwinnett representatives, with one team qualifying out of Class AAAAAA and four Private teams making up the numbers. In Class AAAAAAA, the biggest eye-catcher was Buford ending up at No. 9 despite its 10-0 record and top-three national rankings. The defending state champion Wolves were one of just three undefeated teams in the classification along with Newton and Carrollton, but a very weak region hurt its metrics. Nobody else in the region finished over .500, and Buford’s opponents averaged a .42778 winning percentage, the

Providence Christian loses back-and-forth battle with Commerce

LILBURN — With the Georgia high school football playoffs beginning next week, Friday’s game was a crucial game for playoff positioning and momentum. Commerce running back Demarco Huff had a huge night as he ran for over 300 yards as the Tigers (9-1) defeated Providence Academy (6-4) 42-32 in a battle for second place in Region 8-AA. “We were resilient and kept coming back all night but at the end of the day you simply must make plays against a team like that," Providence head coach Trae Owens said. "Tonight Commerce made more plays than us and of course that is why they won the game. We battled back tonight just like we have all season, but we just fell a bit short.” Following a short kickoff return, Providence began from the Storm 21-yard line. After several nice runs by Elliot Lee, the Storm moved out to their own 38-yard line. Facing a 3rd and long situation, Storm quarterback Riley Braiden threw a beautiful over the shoulder pass to Mason Malone for a 29-yard pickup down to the Commerce 33-yard line. Providence finished off the early drive as Kylan Baker hauled in a 9-yard strike from Braiden for the game’s
