The Atlanta Beltline announced Thursday that it has reach 79% of its goal to preserve or create 5,600 affordable housing units along the corridor by the end of the decade.

The initiative thus far has produced 4,425 units to date across the Beltline Tax Allocation District.

The organization defines affordability as housing costs that allow low and moderate-income households to meet monthly rent or mortgage obligations while maintaining stable income for essential needs such as food, clothing and healthcare. In 2025, a metro Atlanta household of four that brings in up to $91,350 annually qualifies as low income.
