We bring together diverse stakeholders including residents, neighborhood leaders, business owners, affordable housing providers, policy experts, developers, community leaders, and government representatives to build a stronger, more coordinated housing ecosystem for DeKalb County. Our vision is that every DeKalb resident has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing, supported by policies, resources, and partnerships that meet the county’s unique needs.
