Atlanta Housing is a public housing authority based in Atlanta, Georgia. Established on June 11, 1938 as the first such authority in the United States, it is authorized to develop, acquire, lease, and operate affordable housing for low‑income residents under Georgia law. The agency serves families, seniors, and people with disabilities by providing quality, affordable housing in amenity‑rich settings and has helped pioneer mixed‑income, mixed‑use communities since 1996. As Georgia’s largest housing agency and one of the largest in the nation, it operates as a real estate development organization serving about 50,000 people through 16 mixed‑income communities, 13 residential properties (including 11 senior high‑rise buildings and two family communities), and participants in its Housing Choice Voucher Program. The organization emphasizes quality living environments, resident self‑sufficiency, and economic viability. In 2026, Atlanta Housing announced a collaboration with Bird to expand access to scooters and e‑bikes within its communities.
