From the BG Ad Group Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Wednesday, June 5th, and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Marietta Considers Consultant for Homeless Issues

The Marietta City Council is considering hiring a consultant to address homelessness, prompted by Councilman Carlyle Kent amid growing constituent complaints and opioid settlement funds. Kent emphasized, “We can’t just keep burying our heads in the sand… We need to find out what we can do.”

In 2022, Georgia secured $636 million from pharmaceutical companies, with Marietta receiving annual funds until 2039. City Manager Bill Bruton confirmed that using these funds for homelessness aligns with their purpose, given the link between homelessness and substance abuse.

Councilwoman Cheryl Richardson highlighted the importance of addressing mental health issues alongside substance abuse in tackling homelessness. Collaboration is on the table, with discussions between Kent and Cobb Commissioner JoAnn Birrell about jointly funding a consultant.
