We count every building in the state. A building can be in more than one group, so the groups add up to more than 2,134. The list comes from HUD, the federal housing department (public housing, Section 8, senior and disability buildings, and tax-credit buildings), downloaded October 5, 2026. It does not say whether a waitlist is open, and some waitlists are closed or years long.

Questions about affordable housing in Georgia

What kinds of affordable housing listings are open in Georgia?

Georgia has 1 waitlist and 9 first come listings open right now. Each listing says whether it is a lottery, a waitlist or first come.

How much does affordable housing cost in Georgia?

Homes for sale are posted from $165,000 to $296,000. Rents in income-restricted rentals are usually set by a program formula tied to the middle income in the area (the area median income) instead of the market, so they are often lower than similar homes nearby.

What income do I need to qualify for affordable housing in Georgia?

Among the 10 listings in Georgia that post an income limit, the most a household of 2 can earn a year ranges from $54,840 to $109,680. Some programs also set a minimum income, and limits are higher for larger households. Both differ from listing to listing. The free qualify check compares your household with the income limit and rules on each open listing.

Can I apply online for affordable housing in Georgia?

None of the 10 open listings in Georgia that we track has an online application; they use paper, email or in-person steps. Listings here link to atlantalandtrust.org (9 listings) and athenslandtrust.org (1 listing). Check each listing for any application fee the program states, and be careful with anyone who asks you to pay to enter a lottery.

When is the next housing deadline in Georgia?

None of the open listings in Georgia posts a deadline that is still ahead. Waitlists and first come listings stay open until the program closes them, so the listing page is the place to check the latest status.
