HouseATL is addressing Housing Affordability in Atlanta
A city known for its affordability, hospitality, and warm climate is at cross-roads. Cost of living and quality of life have been economic drivers for the region, but the city’s competitive advantage is at risk. Economic mobility and income disparity have become critical issues, as home prices and rents continue to rise faster than incomes. Ensuring that the city is focused on inclusive economic growth means we must collectively focus on affordable housing as foundational to quality of life and as a key component of Atlanta’s economic development infrastructure.
Policy makers, businesses and residents can all benefit by ensuring Atlanta is a city for all. HouseATL assembles the region’s top resources to build policies and financial models that will make housing affordability a reality. This collaborative effort helps create a deeper understanding of the issues, drives community consensus, shapes political will, identifies much-needed funding and coordinates policy improvements.
The result? Atlanta will be a national leader in cultivating public-private-nonprofit partnerships to address housing affordability issues.
