HouseATL is addressing Housing Affordability in Atlanta
A region known for its affordability, hospitality, jobs and warm climate is at cross-roads. Cost of living and quality of life have been economic drivers for the region, but Atlanta’s competitive advantage is at risk. Weak economic mobility and income disparities have become critical issues, as home prices and rents continue to rise faster than incomes. Ensuring that the region’s economic opportunities are inclusive 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 region 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.
