Peoplestown has a great opportunity to create more housing options for our low-income and formerly unhoused neighbors, but we need your support!

A developer is requesting public funding from the City of Atlanta to build 37 homes, 31 of which are for low-income individuals with 7 reserved for individuals transitioning out of homelessness.

Despite the Mayor’s commitment to building 20,000 new affordable units across the city, the current City procedure defers to self-selected members of the neighborhood before granting the necessary public funding to make projects like this possible. Some Peoplestown residents are opposing this great project, so we need your voice to ensure these homes will be available to our neighbors in need.
