Housing Planning and Technical Assistance

Housing accessibility is a vital part of ARC’s vision for One Great Region. Creating an environment where housing access enables communities to thrive must be intentional and data-driven. ARC helps communities incorporate housing data and recommendations into planning activities and updates, and through grant-funded programs within the ARC’s Community Development Department.

ARC Grant-Funded Planning and Technical Assistance Programs

The ARC offers grant-funded planning assistance and technical support for housing through the Community Development Department’s Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) and Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) program.

  • Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) provides planning assistance to local governments, CID’s, and non-profits across the metro Atlanta region to undertake local planning activities that advance the goals of the Atlanta Region’s Plan. CDAP matches technical planning help and expertise with projects in communities who need it.
  • Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) is a grant program that incentivizes local jurisdictions to re-envision their communities as vibrant, walkable places that offer increased mobility options, encourage healthy lifestyles and provide improved access to jobs and services.
