Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens joined city officials and housing partners today to open The Winnwood, a new 48-unit permanent supportive housing development at 1460 W. Peachtree St. NW. The project is the fifth completed under the city’s Rapid Housing Initiative, which aims to expand housing options for residents experiencing homelessness.
According to the City of Atlanta release, Mayor Dickens was joined by Deputy Chief and Senior Advisor on Homelessness Chatiqua Ellison, Partners for HOME CEO Cathryn Vassell, and Atlantica Properties Developer Darion Dunn. The city’s goal is to create 500 permanent supportive housing units as part of its broader effort to increase affordable housing in Atlanta.
The event marked another milestone in the city’s strategy to address homelessness through collaboration between public agencies and private partners. The City of Atlanta encouraged media coverage to help raise awareness and support for future housing initiatives.
