The Atlanta Heritage Owner Occupied Rehab Program was created to help legacy residents remain in their homes amid rising prices by providing forgivable loans up to $30,000 to help cover needed repairs and safety hazards. The program gives priority to senior households, military veterans, disabled head of households and those who have been in their homes for more than 15 years. Eligible repairs include everything from minor plumbing and electrical work to ADA improvements, siding, painting and windows. The Anti-Displacement Tax Relief Fund was created to protect long-term residents and preserve the cultural legacy of Atlanta communities amid the city’s rapid growth. Administered by Invest Atlanta, this affordable housing initiative provides tax relief to eligible senior homeowners with greater risk of displacement due to rising property taxes by covering their property tax increases for 20 years. In 2024, 105 seniors received Anti-Displacement Tax Relief, totaling more than $41,000 in property tax increases paid in the first year and guaranteed payment for the next 19 years.
