In Georgia, over one-third of the population rents their homes and half are cost-burdened, meaning they spend over 30 percent of their income on housing. 28% of Georgia renter households are severely cost burdened (spending more than 50% of their income on rent). As housing costs continue to increase and wealth disparities widen, we have prioritized the following policy opportunities to support Georgia families:

  • Promoting Housing Stability and Preventing Eviction
  • Ensuring Funding to Build and Preserve Affordable Housing
  • Promoting Affordable Housing Preservation
  • Addressing Insurance Challenges
  • Increasing Housing Options and Reducing Construction Costs
  • Preventing and Ending Homelessness
