Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms has promised to deliver 20,000 units of affordable housing by 2026.

"Those following Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms to see if she lives up to her promise of creating or preserving 20,000 affordable homes by 2026 now have a tool to keep track of her progress," reports Karon Warren.
That's because the city of Atlanta this week released the Atlanta Housing Affordability Tracker, and online tool the "documents the progress of the Bottoms administration’s goal of investing $1 billion in affordable housing in Atlanta."
"Data in the dashboard represents the collaborative efforts of the City of Atlanta, Invest Atlanta, Atlanta Housing, the Atlanta Beltline, and Fulton County/City of Atlanta Land Bank Authority," adds Warren. The tracker is currently showing commitments that date to the two-year period from January 2018 to December 2019.
