Housing Data

The Metro Atlanta Housing Strategy was developed by ARC as an interactive toolkit that provides detailed information and data about the region’s housing market to the neighborhood level and offers a set of actionable steps local communities can take to address their housing challenges and provide a better range of quality, affordable housing options.

The goal is to foster a greater mix of housing options in the region, reflective of each community’s specific housing needs. This is achieved through six strategies to increase affordable housing options and bring about meaningful change:

• Increase housing supply to promote affordability by providing the necessary tools for developers to contribute to the supply of both market-rate and affordable housing units.
• Preserve supply of affordable housing units to ensure that they remain accessible to low- to moderate-income households.
• Reduce housing and transportation costs by increasing housing options near job centers and advancing mobility options throughout the region.
• Expand capital resources by providing financial incentives and mechanisms to foster the creation and preservation of affordable housing units.
• Promote housing stability to ensure that residents can remain in their homes and communities.
• Develop leadership and collaboration on housing to promote and enable education, communication, and collaboration around housing issues.
