A City of Opportunity for All
Watch Mayor Dickens’ speech on the state of affordable housing in Atlanta
Vision & Strategy for Housing Affordability
Mayor Andre Dickens is committed to making Atlanta Quality housing for all. A key part of this is ensuring that all Atlantans have access to safe, quality and affordable housing. This means development without displacement and providing residents–newcomers and legacy residents alike–with practical, diverse housing options.
Mayor Dickens set the ambitious goal of building or preserving 20,000 units of affordable housing across the city by 2030. The Administration has made real progress towards this goal: more than 3,000 affordable housing units have been delivered and nearly 5,000 are in development since 2022.
That means not only building or preserving 20,000 units of affordable housing across the city by 2030, but also delivering targeted help to Atlantans who need it most–from legacy residents and low-income households to the City’s unhoused population.
