Senior Citizen Anti-Displacement Grant
The City of Atlanta area has grown rapidly in recent years and is now the sixth-largest metropolitan region in the United States. This increase in population is driving increased housing costs and property taxes. According to Neighbor-to-Neighbor data, 76% of homeowners surveyed expressed concern about paying current year property taxes and 79% of respondents expressed concern about potential property tax increases.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens acknowledged the importance of protecting legacy residents from tax-related displacement. This grant program is designed to provide crucial financial support to seniors aged 65 and above who own and occupy homes within the City of Atlanta.
Our goal is to ensure that seniors can age in place with dignity and security. Through this grant, eligible individuals can receive assistance with property taxes, helping to alleviate financial burdens and prevent displacement. Additionally, priority is given to applicants with household incomes falling below 40 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), ensuring that those most in need receive support.
