Georgia Advancing Communities Together, Inc. is a statewide organization dedicated to strengthening communities by advancing housing stability, equity, and opportunity across Georgia. Georgia ACT brings together local leaders, nonprofit organizations, policymakers, and residents to develop practical, community-centered solutions to housing and community development challenges. Grounded in lived experience and informed by data, Georgia ACT works to align policy, resources, and leadership to expand access to safe, affordable housing and to build vibrant, resilient neighborhoods where all Georgians can thrive.

Georgia ACT’s 2026 programming focuses on advancing statewide housing policy, strengthening local capacity, and developing the next generation of housing leaders while promoting informed civic participation. Core activities include housing policy advocacy and convenings aligned with Georgia ACT’s state priorities; the Thriving Together Initiative, providing technical assistance to nonprofits and local governments to expand affordable housing; leadership development through fellowships for young adults and individuals with lived experience; nonpartisan voter education and engagement activities that connect housing issues to civic participation; and community-based partnerships that support housing stability and homelessness prevention across urban, rural, and small-town Georgia.

In 2025, Georgia ACT advanced housing stability across Georgia through statewide policy leadership, local capacity building, and community engagement. Georgia ACT convened housing and community development leaders, supported local governments and nonprofit developers in aligning and leveraging housing investments, and expanded the Thriving Together Initiative to address affordable housing, homelessness, and workforce housing needs in urban and rural communities. Georgia ACT also strengthened leadership development through fellowships for young adults and individuals with lived experience. In addition, Georgia ACT conducted nonpartisan voter education and engagement activities on college campuses, at community centers, and within low-income apartment complexes, connecting housing issues.

Georgia ACT is currently conducting coordinated voter engagement efforts in Georgia (including voter registration, education, and mobilization). We are doing tabling, social media campaigns, targeted canvassing, email campaigns and rallies. Our target areas are Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton, Bibb and Ben Hill Counties that include traditionally underserved lower propensity areas (i.e. low-income apartment complexes, rural communities, and HBCU campuses).

We build, support, and inform a statewide network of thriving organizations, professionals, and individuals advancing equitable housing and community development. Our Vision – All Georgia families have safe and decent housing in vibrant neighborhoods.
