🏡 GEORGIA HOMEOWNERS: PROPERTY TAX RELIEF IS ON THE WAY! Governor Brian Kemp and the Georgia Department of Revenue have announced that the state will begin distributing funds to local governments this week to provide property tax relief for eligible Georgia homeowners. ✅ What Georgia Homeowners Need to Know: 🏠 Eligible homeowners will receive an $18,000 reduction in their home’s assessed value for the 2026 tax year, helping lower their property tax bills. ✅ Homeowners with a qualifying homestead exemption do not need to apply separately. 💰 Relief will appear as a reduction on property tax bills, NOT as a check or direct deposit. At Georgia Advancing Communities Together, we know that housing affordability doesn’t stop at purchasing a home. Keeping families in their homes and reducing housing costs are essential to building stable, thriving communities. 📢 We encourage Georgia homeowners to review their property tax bills and contact their local tax commissioner’s office with questions about eligibility or savings. 🔗 Read the official press release: https://gov.georgia.gov/press-releases/2026-11-02/gov-kemp-dor-announce-distribution-homeowner-tax-relief-grants Georgia ACT | Strong Communities Start at Home! #GeorgiaACT #NewsYouCanUse #PropertyTaxRelief #HousingAffordability #GeorgiaHomeowners StrongCommunitiesStartAtHome

🏡 Strong Communities. Healthy Families. Powerful Conversations. Georgia ACT was honored to be among a select group of invited leaders participating in an exclusive convening in Clayton County with Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (IL) to address the maternal mortality crisis and advance meaningful, community-centered solutions. Our President & CEO, Dr. Bambie Hayes-Brown, and Board Chair, Sherrell Byrd, were privileged to contribute their perspectives to this critical conversation. At Georgia ACT, we recognize that thriving communities require more than affordable housing—they require health equity, access to quality care, and healthy outcomes for mothers and families. Being invited to help shape solutions reinforces our commitment to ensuring community voices are represented where important decisions are discussed. Because strong communities start with healthy families, and every mother’s life matters. 💙 #GeorgiaACT #HealthEquity #MaternalHealth #CommunityVoices #StrongCommunities MaternalMortality

🏘️ HOUSING IS MORE THAN A PLAN, IT’S A COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITIES! According to the Saporta Report, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has unveiled the second phase of its first-ever Regional Housing Strategy, Housing Forward 2035, outlining 10 key actions to address Metro Atlanta’s growing housing affordability challenges. The ambitious plan calls for 367,000 new homes by 2035, reducing the affordability gap for households earning less than $55,000 annually, and transforming underutilized properties into housing opportunities. At Georgia ACT, we believe strong communities start at home! Plans must lead to meaningful action, equitable investments, and housing solutions that reach the people and communities who need them most. Because housing isn’t just about buildings, it’s about people, stability, and opportunity! 📖 Read the full article: https://saportareport.com/arc-unveils-part-two-of-first-ever-regional-housing-plan/columnists/delaney-tarr/delaneytarr/ ✍🏽 Article Credit: Delaney Tarr | SaportaReport | October 16, 2026 📸 Photo Credit: Pexels (as credited by SaportaReport) #GeorgiaACT #StrongCommunitiesStartAtHome #AffordableHousing #HousingForward2035 #HousingEquity CommunityDevelopment MetroAtlanta HousingForAll

🏠 Behind every eviction filing is a person, a family, a neighbor and a story. Metro Atlanta now has the highest eviction filing rate in the nation, with approximately 144,000 eviction cases filed last year across Cobb, Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties. That equals about 24 eviction filings for every 100 renter households, nearly three times the national average. For families already working hard to make ends meet, the threat of eviction can mean disrupted schools, lost stability, difficult choices and uncertainty about what comes next. At Georgia ACT, we believe Strong Communities Start at Home. Every person deserves the opportunity to live in a safe, stable home and to be part of a community where they can thrive. These numbers remind us why it is so important to listen to residents, strengthen housing resources and bring communities, housing providers, policymakers and partners together to find practical solutions. Georgia ACT will continue to center people, elevate community voices and advocate for housing solutions that help Georgians remain safely and stably housed. 📰 Source and Article Credit: FOX 5 Atlanta Read the full story: https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/why-metro-atlanta-now-leads-nation-eviction-filings #GeorgiaACT #StrongCommunitiesStartAtHome #HousingStability #EvictionPrevention #MetroAtlanta GeorgiaHousing CommunityDevelopment
