Summary

The Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens has announced the construction of the Beacon at Cooper Street, Atlanta's fifth rapid housing unit, to commemorate Atlanta's 500th home. This significant building will contribute to the city's goal of maintaining or increasing 20,000 affordable housing units by 2030, addressing the critical need to combat homelessness.

The city will prioritize this project by ensuring that 50 percent of all newly constructed rapid housing is affordable, a standard designed to make rapid housing accessible to families without relying on financial aid. As the first rapid housing project in the Atlanta metropolitan area to become affordable by 2030, the beacon will serve as a lasting testament to the Mayor's commitment to affordable housing and sustainable urban growth.
