Georgia has the largest hunger crisis of any state, and it’s a problem that extends beyond the food stamp program, the Associated Press reports.
A large percentage of the state’s population lacks basic needs.
And with nearly 2.5 million residents in the food assistance program, Georgia is the largest recipient of federal food assistance, which makes it the No. 2 recipient in the country, according to the AP.
In addition, food stamps account for roughly half of the $11 billion that the federal government spends on SNAP benefits each year.
The AP cites a recent study that found that nearly half of all Americans living in poverty have access to food assistance.
Georgia’s poverty rate is 13.5 percent.
As many as 2 million people rely on food stamps to survive, and more than 6 million people in the state receive benefits in some form.
That means food stamps are critical to the state economy.
And the state is grappling with the problem of rising food prices, which are hitting the state hard.
The average price of a loaf of bread in Georgia is $3.85, up from $2.82 in 2015.
That’s on top of the more than $6,000 price tag that a loaf has increased in the past decade.
That increases the cost of living for many Georgians, as well as other Georgians who depend on food assistance for their health.
According to a 2016 report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Georgia ranks among the worst states in terms of affordable housing, with a median housing cost of $13,100 per person.
That puts the state well above the national average.
In 2017, the cost to buy a one-bedroom apartment in Georgia was $633 per month, and a two-bedroom was $832 per month.
That same year, the average price for a two bedroom was $1,063 per month and a three bedroom was just over $1.9 million.
Georgia has also been hit hard by a massive influx of refugees, with more than 1.1 million people from around the world claiming refugee status in 2017.
The refugee population is increasing at a staggering rate in Georgia, as more than 400,000 refugees have arrived over the past six years, according a recent report by Georgia Department of Health and Human Services.
About 20 percent of Georgia’s refugee population live in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
In fact, Georgia has nearly a third of all refugees in the United States, according the State Department.
And that’s just for those refugees who arrived in Georgia.
In 2018, the number of refugees in Georgia jumped to 3,852, the highest rate in the entire nation, according The New York Times.
In the state, the refugee population has also grown exponentially, with some estimates estimating that there could be more than 500,000 people currently in the Atlanta metro area.
There are currently more than 5,000 active refugee resettlement centers in the US, according Refugees Welcome, a nonprofit organization that advocates for refugees.
The problem for many of these people is that the government has not had a way to handle their situation, as a result of the refugee crisis.
That lack of a proper and timely system of resettlement has led to a huge influx of new refugees, many of whom have no idea how to get to the US legally, the AP reports.
And as a consequence, many families have been left with nowhere to live, or with nowhere near enough money to pay rent, food or utilities.
There have been some efforts in the recent past to help alleviate the problem.
But that hasn’t worked, according TOEFL.
The International English Language Testing Consortium, which tests students to help identify students with learning and language disabilities, requires all incoming English Language Learners to take a test to prove they have the necessary skills.
This test has been phased out and replaced by a new test called the ACT Test.
However, the testing program has been met with backlash by the American Civil Liberties Union.
A group of teachers at the University of Georgia recently announced that they would not be renewing their teachers’ certification to take the test.
“The ACT test is a tool that was used in the ’60s and ’70s to provide an accurate assessment of language proficiency.
But there is a lack of testing,” David Williams, a teacher at the university’s Teachers College, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“This ACT test, the new ACT test we are doing, is not accurate enough to meet the needs of our students.”
And this year, more than a hundred schools in Georgia announced they would be dropping their tests from the new test.
Georgia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, who has been at the forefront of addressing the issue of rising student loan debt, is also looking into ways to ease the burden of student debt.
But it seems that many Georgias problems with rising student debt have not been addressed by
