Atlanta has long been an area that has provided extensive low-income housing opportunities for families and individuals. In fact, there was a point in time where Atlanta had more public housing units per capita than any other city in the United States. Today, however, Atlanta has torn down all of their traditional public housing and replaced them with mixed-income housing developments that utilized Section 8 vouchers to subsidize rent. While this shift still offers some housing for the lower economic class, there is not enough of this low cost housing to meet the needs of Atlanta residents.
The Atlanta local movers have learned that the Atlanta Regional Housing Forum has been exploring different ways to better meet the needs of the area locals. Discussions have recognized the need for low income housing options and making these places available to cut the amount of homeless and paycheck-to-paycheck populations in Atlanta.
