Atlanta Housing

Did you know Atlanta Housing offers a stackable down payment assistance program?

That means our down payment assistance can be combined with other organizations offering DPA programs—helping make homeownership even more achievable.

That’s why we love getting out into the community and sharing valuable information that brings future homeowners one step closer to owning a home.

We had a great time connecting with aspiring homeowners at the Homeownership Month Open House Tour, sharing resources, answering questions, and helping people better understand the pathways to homeownership.

From down payment assistance to homebuyer support, we’re committed to helping families take the next step with confidence.

Because sometimes, the dream of owning a home starts with simply showing up and learning what’s possible.

“We’re making our most significant investment in down payment assistance yet.” — Terri M. Lee

And Terri meant business!

When we say we’re helping families move from housing stability to economic mobility… this is what we mean.

At the 2026 State of Atlanta Housing, we announced a major investment in homeownership:

Eligible Housing Choice Voucher Program families may receive up to $60,000 in down payment assistance — more than doubling the previous maximum of $25,000.

Our goal? Help more families move from rental assistance to homeownership.

This initiative connects directly to Resident Renaissance and our focus on self-sufficiency, stability and economic mobility. Homeownership should feel possible. And when one family moves forward, it creates opportunity for another family, too.

More details on eligibility, timing and the application process will be shared as the program is finalized.

Atlanta, we’re creating more pathways to home. 💙

What does a day dedicated to the people who build our communities look like?

Fresh food. Helpful resources. Great music. Even better community.

Our Senior Farmers Market & Resource Fair is back and we brought residents together for a day filled with fresh produce, wellness resources, movement, music, food, and connection at the Atlanta Civic Center. Seniors had the opportunity to access healthy fruits and vegetables, engage with community partners, learn more about health and wellness, and enjoy a day designed with them in mind.

From line dancing and bingo to health resources and community fellowship, the day served as a reminder that supporting our seniors means investing in health, joy, and quality of life.

Thank you to our partners, volunteers, and every resident who came out and made the day special. Community care looks good on us.
