Atlanta Beltline, Inc. (ABI) said it has reached 79% of its goal to create or preserve 5,600 affordable housing units by 2030,
According to a press release, 4,425 units have been delivered within the Beltline Tax Allocation District (TAD). The Beltline and its partners delivered 299 affordable housing units in 2025, and are preparing to break ground on more in 2026.
Since 2018, the Beltline has more than doubled the number of completed affordable housing units along the corridor, with nearly three-fourths of these reserved for people earning 60% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI).
The Beltline moved several major projects forward this year, advancing sites from planning to implementation across the corridor. 356 University Avenue, 350 Chappell Road, 425 Chappell Road, Murphy Crossing, and 579 Garson Drive all saw progress, with community feedback helping guide each step, according to ABI.
Major developments advanced through collaboration in 2025 include Brownsville Point, Englewood Multifamily, the Residences at West End, Waterworks, and Oakland Exchange.

In January 2026, ABI launched a new Affordable Housing Dashboard and web-based mobile app to improve access to affordable housing information and strengthen transparency around progress toward its 2030 goal. The interactive platform allows residents, partners, and stakeholders to explore affordable housing developments along the Beltline through an interactive map and search tools that identify units within the Beltline Planning Area.
Launched in 2020, the Legacy Resident Retention Program (LRRP) helps longtime homeowners remain in neighborhoods adjacent to the Beltline by covering the cost of property tax increases through the 2030 tax year. In 2025, 276 homeowners in neighborhood stabilization areas on Atlanta’s Westside and Southside received tax relief through the program, according to ABI.
The Beltline also offers residents guidance on filing homestead exemptions, appealing property tax assessments, managing finances, and buying a home for the first time. Now marking a decade of connecting community members to these critical resources, the Beltline continues to expand access to financial education and housing stability tools. Information on these workshops and additional resources can be found on the Resident Resource Page of the Beltline website.
