Atlanta Mayor Unveils $60M Affordable Housing Initiative

Mayor Andre Dickens' proposal aims to create 700 units by next year, addressing the city's escalating homelessness crisis.

The plan includes a mix of public and private funding, with a $50 million bond and $10 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
If approved, the initiative could double the city's investment in reducing homelessness, potentially reaching over $120 million.
The proposal features 200 units of permanent supportive housing and 500 rapid delivery units with essential services.
Partners for Home, a key collaborator, aims to secure an additional $43 million in private funds for housing and related services.
Previous efforts include 'The Melody,' a community of 40 studio apartments made from shipping containers.
