OUR IMPACT
2025-2026, AADM assisted 75 families experiencing housing instability and provided approximately $11,250 in direct housing-related financial assistance.
As housing needs continue to grow, AADM is seeking financial support and strategic partnerships to sustain these essential services.
Our mission is simple: Help families remain housed, connect people with resources, and advocate for long-term housing solutions.
HOUSING JUSTICE & STABILITY PROJECT
The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM) has revamped its housing initiative to focus primarily on housing advocacy, tenant rights, and addressing systemic barriers to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
Our goal is to empower residents, protect tenant rights, and advocate for policies that prevent displacement and improve housing conditions.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Housing Policy Advocacy (Our Primary Focus)
Advocate for stronger tenant protections, fair housing practices, affordable housing solutions, improved living conditions, and policy reforms that address housing discrimination, displacement, and systemic inequities.
Emergency Housing Assistance (When Funding Is Available)
Provide limited financial assistance to eligible individuals and families experiencing eviction, homelessness, or urgent housing crises, depending on available funding and resources.
OUR MISSION
To advance housing justice through community advocacy, education, resource connections, and policy reform, while providing limited emergency assistance when funding permits.
Make it stand out.
Housing is a human right and we must act accordingly!
Athens has a housing crisis like many other places across the country. Uncontrolled rent hikes, vanishing access to housing for ordinary and marginalized people, inequitable zoning law applications and lack of policy guardrails are making housing protections more urgent than ever.
As we continue to move forward towards a better future and prosperity for all, let us be reminded that our continued inaction and bare minimum low hanging fruit responses will continue to deepen the hole we all should want to climb out of. 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.
