Statewide Housing Needs Assessment

DCA commissioned a Housing Needs Assessment in 2021 to identify opportunities for agency policies and programs to better meet the housing needs of Georgia residents. The needs assessment analysis and recommendations will address all types of housing needs in all areas of the state. The final report is expected to be completed in 2022. 

See below for opportunities to contribute your insights on Georgia housing needs for consideration in the needs assessment analysis.

Public Housing Authority (PHA) Survey  

The Needs Assessment involves conducting a statewide inventory of all public housing authorities (PHAs). Survey responses will inform the Needs Assessment report and recommendations for how DCA policies, programs, and resources can better assist PHAs in preserving and developing affordable housing for many of Georgia’s lowest income residents.

DCA has re-opened the survey. Please complete the PHA survey by May 6, 2022.
