Join us at Athens City Hall for a powerful Day of Action this April in recognition of Fair Housing Month.

This is a critical moment for our community to come together and advocate for safe, affordable, and equitable housing in Athens. We are calling on residents, leaders, and allies to stand with us as we push for real solutions to the housing crisis impacting our most vulnerable neighbors.

During this Day of Action, we will:

  • Advocate for increased access to affordable housing

  • Demand stronger tenant protections and accountability for landlords

  • Share community stories and lived experiences

  • Mobilize support for AADM’s proposed Affordable Housing Ordinance

About the Ordinance:
We are asking like minded residents and organizations in Athens, GA to make a commitment to ensuring the policies presented in this document are passed and enforced at the state and local levels.

● Rent control
● Source of income non-discrimination
● Criminal history non-discrimination
● Zoning changes i.e. Overlay districts
● Inclusionary Zoning
● Expanding the Homestead Exemption for seniors at a certain income level

Whether you’ve been directly impacted or want to stand in solidarity, your presence matters.

Join us, raise your voice, and help shape the future of housing in Athens.
