Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. (ABI) is committed to ensuring that all residents can benefit from the activities and growth associated with the Atlanta BeltLine. Affordability is a key component of this vision, and ABI has a goal of creating or preserving 5,600 affordable housing units within the Atlanta Beltline Tax Allocation District (TAD) through the end of 2030. While not a housing agency, ABI works closely with multiple partners to realize its affordable housing goal and provides financial contributions to affordable housing  developments from the Atlanta BeltLine Affordable Housing Trust Fund (BAHTF) and from the BeltLine TAD increment.  To date, 2,727 units have been created or preserved within the TAD – and another 1,706 in the BeltLine Planning Area – resulting in 4,433 affordable units within walking distance to the BeltLine corridor.

The Milton received $2 million from the BeltLine Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The developer, Prestwick Companies received a tax-exempt loan from Invest Atlanta’s Urban Residential Finance Authority, as well as funds from Partners for Home, project-based vouchers from Atlanta Housing, a tax credit allocation from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, and additional funding from Truist, and Grandbridge.

In addition to creating or preserving affordable housing, ABI, in partnership with the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership, aims to help eligible long-term residents in BeltLine neighborhoods remain in their homes through the Legacy Resident Retention Program, a grant program that pays any increase in property taxes through tax tear 2030.

    1. Thank you for your question. All of the 156 apartments at 55 Milton are affordable to individuals and families earning between 50 and 70% AMI.

  2. I hope people come and respect the property.People seem to destroy low income apartments instead of being grateful and keeping the place clean and crime free.

  4. Hi I’m trying to get in contact with someone I’ve called several times and emailed with no response

  5. I had an appointment on March 17 and I never received a call. I tried reaching out via email a few times never got a response. I sent over personal information. Don’t know what that was about hopefully I’ll receive a call

  6. Hi! Typically how long does it take for someone to reach back out? I’ve sent an email to both addresses about pre leasing

  7. My wife and I relocated from Memphis almost 2 years ago after working 7 years towards the move. We were fortunate to find Capitol Vanira Apartments since they were open to veterans when we rented an Airbnb nearby. (We put our possessions in storage when moving from Memphis.) We would like to apply for the Milton. As an independent publisher, I will need a 2 bedroom apartment that will give me my office space. My website is http://www.tuirningtoGodfromidols.com
