ATLANTA – Atlanta Housing has updated its freeze on rent increases, claiming that there will be a possibility “on a case -by -case basis” of adjustments.
The policy adjustment has been described in a note provided to 11alive. He notes that the automatic gels remain “suspended until further notice”, but says that Atlanta Housing “can make rental adjustments to the properties assisted on a case -by -case basis” on the examination of an evaluation of individual properties.
This occurs while the organization has sailed on potential federal financing discounts, with residents working with Atlanta housing using good federals in section 8.

Any possible increase in rent, according to memo, is “generally based on the reasonable nature of the requested increase and an analysis by Atlanta Housing of financial performance and operational needs of property”.
Such an examination must be officially requested by an owner who works with the organization via the housing vouchers program.
The Trump administration has floated the financing of housing and urban development and implemented restrictions over the duration of the vouchers in section 8 to offer housing. Atlanta Housing receives more than 95% of its budget by more than $ 450 million HUD.
With possibly imminent federal cuts, Atlanta Housing decided to freeze rental rate increases for any contract renewal after July 1.
Some defenders have feared that the policy will reduce the amount of properties that accept the right ones, as said this week, the Nursey of Matthew Nursey of the Housing League League. This could in turn place a greater demand on the properties that accept the right ones.
Atlanta Housing’s memo note said on Monday that the organization “will continue to assess the federal landscape” and that “all policies remain subject to an ongoing exam”.
