The City of Atlanta needs to invest $1 billion to add another 24,000 units of affordable housing within the next eight years, according to a well-represented task force that has been meeting since January.
For the City of Atlanta, there’s nothing more important than affordable housing.
That’s what Richard Cox, the city’s chief operating officer, said at the ground-breaking of “The 1300” – a 47-unit apartment building across from the City of Refuge that will open next summer.
Terri Lee, the city’s deputy planning commissioner, will lead new efforts to coordinate affordable housing solutions.
HouseATL task force releases its working recommendations—including 24,000 new or preserved affordable homes—for the mayor’s consideration.
