WORTH Atlanta Homeownership Collaborative | Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta WORTH Atlanta Homeownership Collaborative In an unprecedented partnership of business, civic, nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta amassed a coalition of support to create and preserve over 6,000 homeowners from underserved communities in the five core counties: Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Fulton and Gwinnett.
The Collaborative leverages a wide variety of strategies to address two main goals: to increase access to homeownership for households that have been disproportionately impacted by systemic barriers to homeownership, and to increase the supply of homes available for purchase for low-to-moderate income homebuyers.
Homeownership has historically served as a primary mechanism to achieve generational wealth, and these goals will help address the significant racial wealth gap that persists to this day in Metro Atlanta.
The Community Foundation, working closely with the City of Atlanta and dozens of nonprofits that support the region’s housing sector, has sought solutions for expanded homeownership for many years, leading to this coalition of support and funding. WORTH Atlanta Homeownership Collaborative strategies: Increase unit production through integrative ecosystem of local builders, nonprofit developers, and large market producers.
Expand capital resources for homeownership production and leverage the philanthropic community in parallel paths to maximize impact. Coordinate industry resources to streamline the homebuying process through the Homeownership Urban Blueprint (HUB) , a one-stop shop for first-time homebuyers. Support greater participation in the real estate industry by encouraging a representation of people most impacted.
Preserve homeownership for older adults and communities that have been disproportionately impacted by housing instability.
