Bolstering the Beltline

At their first board meeting of the new year, Invest Atlanta outlined their goals, programs, and priorities for the year ahead.

A key focus for 2024 will be maintaining existing affordable housing and increasing new housing opportunities along the Beltline through initiatives like property tax and down payment assistance, health and safety repairs, and funding for new affordable developments.

Investing in Community

Affordable housing and combating the effects of gentrification are subjects we think about a lot at Emmaus House. Honoring our legacy residents while keeping our community both affordable and liveable ties directly into our mission of improving the economic and social well-being of our neighborhoods.

We are hopeful that these new initiatives and goals from Invest Atlanta will support that mission and ensure the areas around the Beltline remain enjoyable and accessible places for all.
