This resolution represents a commitment by the City of Atlanta to invest $10 million over six years from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. It is intended to support the City's Rapid Housing Initiative, which aims to provide permanent supportive housing and combat homelessness. The City will authorize a $2 million donation to Partners for Home to continue Phase III of the Rapid Housing Initiative. This phase will focus on providing quick-delivery housing and related supportive services to make homelessness rare and nonrecurring in Atlanta.
This investment will significantly aid in the City's efforts to provide housing for its homeless population, making homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring.
