City Of Atlanta Creates Tracker To Measure Affordable Housing

ATLANTA, GA — People can now track Mayor Keisha Lance Bottom’s progress on her affordable housing initiative. In 2019, Bottoms released the Administration’s Housing Affordability Action Plan to help increase the supply of housing for all residents. On Monday, the city announced the launch of the Atlanta Housing Affordability Tracker.

Its dashboard will allow people to track Atlanta’s goal of creating or preserving 20,000 affordable homes by 2026.

“With this tool, residents, partners and stakeholders alike can track the City’s investment and production in achieving the Administration’s affordable housing goals,” said Chief Housing Officer Terri Lee.

The data represented in the dashboard reflects City agency commitments made between January 2018-December 2019 and will be updated on a quarterly basis.
