Atlanta Housing announced details for its New Housing Development and Preservation Financing Bond Program, opening the intake process for pre-qualified development partners seeking project proposals for bond funding. The agency outlined specific application guidelines for entities looking to develop and preserve affordable and mixed-income housing, as well as those acquiring and rehabilitating existing properties.
Officials specified that the intake process is not open to the general public or unvetted entities. Only development partners who successfully achieved pre-qualification through the Request for Proposals solicitation 2026-0009 Essential Function Bond Development Partners
are permitted to submit project proposals for bond funding.
Submit Application Packets with Fees
To participate in the New Housing Development and Preservation Financing Bond Program, eligible entities must submit a complete application packet containing all required attachments. Submissions must include a non-refundable $5,000 application fee made payable directly to Atlanta Housing. Agency guidelines emphasize that no application will be considered complete or accepted without this fee included.
Prior to formal submission, applicants are strongly encouraged by the agency to schedule a preliminary conference with an Atlanta Housing representative. This meeting allows developers to discuss their proposed development and review the agency’s requirements to help ensure a smoother application process.
Atlanta Housing Reviews Submissions Quickly
Once an application packet is received, Atlanta Housing will review the submission and notify the applicant within seven business days to confirm whether the packet is complete or to identify any additional requirements.
Applicants or interested parties with questions regarding the bond financing program can direct inquiries to Maya Hodari and Elana Frazier at Atlanta Housing, located at 230 John Wesley Dobbs Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30303, or via email at Proposals@AtlantaHousing.org.
