Despite its offices being closed for more than a month under Gov. Brian Kemp’s shelter-in-place order, the largest housing authority in the state of Georgia is still working to provide resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Senior leaders for Atlanta Housing say the agency, which provides affordable housing resources to more than 50,000 people in the Atlanta metro area, has made temporary operational changes to better serve its residents and Housing Choice Voucher recipients.

The agency’s staff is currently working remotely and is conducting over-the-phone appointments and virtual inspections.
