Abundant Housing Atlanta

Yes to People. Yes to Housing. Yes In ATL.

Serving the Atlanta Metro Area

Let's Elect A Pro-Housing City Council!

October 3, 2025

In 2025, every City Council seat plus the mayor is up for reelection in the City of Atlanta! We're excited to work to elect a pro-housing majority on City Council.

Our housing shortage is a political problem, and we need more pro-housing champions on City Council who will introduce and pass the ambitious legislation necessary to make Atlanta affordable, walkable, and vibrant.

This election cycle, we're taking the following actions:

  • Reaching out to meet every candidate running in a contested race!
  • Hosting candidate forums open to the public. Check out the recordings on our from the events for District 2 and District 11.
  • Sending a questionnaire to every candidate running for office to understand their views on housing and endorsing pro-housing candidates!
  • Working to elect our endorsed candidates! Check out our endorsements and all the candidates' responses to our questionnaire.

Here’s how you can make an impact right now:

  • See what's on your ballot and make a plan to vote.
  • Share Abundant Housing Atlanta’s voter info and candidate endorsements on our website and social media: Instagram | Facebook | X and encourage a friend, family member, or coworker to vote housing.
  • If you’re excited about a candidate, browse their website (linked from our endorsements) and find a way to get involved, whether that’s pitching in as a volunteer, spreading the word, or helping fuel their campaign.
  • Sign up for our email list or become an Abundant Housing Atlanta member! Members get a say in our endorsements, help us put resources behind pro-housing candidates, and get a front-row seat to all things housing, all year long.

How we work

Reform the rules

Back zoning reform and streamlined permitting so more homes are legal to build, especially near transit and jobs.

Educate & engage

Turn out residents to the meetings that matter and make it easy to take a pro-housing position on local projects.

Build partnerships

Work with neighbors, labor, faith groups, and builders toward a shared abundant-housing agenda.
