The city of Atlanta could soon gain a housing chief to help the new mayor achieve his goal of producing 20,000 affordable units over the next eight years.
During Wednesday’s Atlanta Regional Housing Forum, Mayor Andre Dickens committed to tapping a chief housing officer before the year’s end, saying his office is already seeking candidates for the executive-level role, which has been vacant since Terri Lee left the post in late 2020.
“I don’t want to be the chief housing officer, and that’s what I’ve become right now,” the mayor joked.
