🏠 THIS WEEK’S METRO ATLANTA HOUSING UPDATE
Evictions No More is watching several important developments affecting renters, voucher families, future homeowners and housing organizations across Fulton, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties.
✅ Important news for DeKalb EHV families:
The Housing Authority of DeKalb County announced that Emergency Housing Voucher households who were under lease as of September 30, 2026, are expected to transition to Tenant Protection Vouchers by the end of December.
If this applies to you, do not assume your conversion is complete. Contact HADC, review every notice you receive and confirm your individual eligibility, tenant payment, recertification requirements and landlord paperwork.
🏘️ Thirty vacant DeKalb properties may be transferred to the Regional Land Bank:
The proposal is expected to return for consideration on October 27. These properties could create future housing and community-development opportunities, but the transfer is not final and the properties are not currently open for applications.
💰 New housing funding and partnership opportunities:
Georgia Rehoused Round 3 includes funding for permanent housing, shelter development, homelessness services, encampment response and veteran-focused programs. Journey’s Hope Foundation and Evictions No More are exploring ways to participate through qualified government and community partnerships.
📅 Additional deadlines we are monitoring:
• November 13: Gwinnett CDBG, HOME and ESG organizational grant applications
• November 25: Georgia Rehoused pre-applications
• December 16: Georgia Rehoused competitive applications
Evictions No More is committed to helping families understand their options, prepare the right documents, communicate with housing agencies and take action before a housing crisis becomes an eviction.
