Atlanta Housing

Alonzo Herndon built a legacy in Atlanta through entrepreneurship, vision and determination. Generations later, his name remains woven into the fabric of this city — and with Legacy at Herndon Square, that story continues. Located in the heart of Atlanta’s Westside, the new community stands on the site of the former Herndon Homes and brings 200 new mixed-income homes to the city, including 170 affordable units and 30 market-rate units. And there’s something special about that. As Atlanta continues to grow — as people come downtown for work, entertainment, major events and everything our city has to offer — the Herndon name will remain part of the landscape. A reminder of where Atlanta has been, who helped shape it and what we’re continuing to build for the generations coming next. Legacy at Herndon Square also represents another step forward in Atlanta Housing’s work to expand housing opportunities and help advance the Mayor’s housing goals for the city. One development at a time, one neighborhood at a time, we’re getting closer. Building Atlanta’s future doesn’t mean leaving its history behind. Sometimes, the best way to honor a legacy is to keep building on it. Welcome home to Legacy at Herndon Square. 💙

Home is a place that provides opportunity. When Atlanta City Council Member Wayne Martin was growing up, his family experienced homelessness for several years. During that time, they became recipients of Atlanta Housing’s assistance, giving them the opportunity to move into a stable community with quality schools and a brighter future. We asked Wayne: “What does home make possible for the people you serve?” His answer is a powerful reminder that affordable housing is about far more than four walls, it’s about creating opportunities that can change the trajectory of a family’s life. It’s also a reminder that you never know someone’s story. The faces of affordable housing don’t fit one stereotype. They can grow up to become your neighbor, your coworker, your teacher…or your City Council member. 🎥 Press play to hear Wayne’s story. #atlantahousing #atlantaishome

When the Mayor of Atlanta Andre Dickens says Atlanta is a group project, it reflects a truth we see every day: partnerships make our work possible. Lauren Koontz, President & CEO of YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta , shares with us how collaboration helps create pathways to housing stability and makes home possible for the individuals and families they serve. #atlantahousing #atlantaishome

If you've driven along Trinity Avenue lately, you can't help but notice that Trinity Central Flats is really starting to take shape. Crews are currently installing and waterproofing foundation walls while backfilling work continues across the site. Once complete, this 10-story mixed-use development will bring 218 new apartment homes and ground-floor retail space to Downtown Atlanta, creating more opportunities for residents to live, work, and connect in the heart of the city. Be sure to follow us for more redevelopment stories happening across the City of Atlanta. #atlantahousing

The group project is working. At Atlanta Housing, partnership isn’t just part of the conversation, it’s part of how we get the work done. As President and CEO Terri Lee shared with Affordable Housing Finance : “One of the most valuable additions to our developer toolkit is the collective commitment of partners who understand that affordable housing is everyone’s responsibility.” That commitment reflects Mayor Andre Dickens’ belief that Atlanta is a group project, and we see the results when public, private, philanthropic and community partners come together around a shared goal. Projects like Overlook at Garson demonstrate what’s possible when we work collectively to expand access to quality, affordable housing for Atlanta families. Terri was recently featured alongside six other affordable housing leaders sharing the tools and strategies making a meaningful difference in their work.
