Invest Atlanta is expanding property tax relief to include more seniors through its Anti-Displacement Tax Relief Fund program. Established in 2024, the program helps eligible, long-term residents remain in their homes by covering increases in property taxes above a homeowner’s base tax amount for up to 20 years.

“The Anti-Displacement Tax Relief Fund is a powerful tool to help Atlanta’s legacy community remain in the areas and houses they helped build,” says Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “Expanding this program allows us to reach more homeowners and reinforces our commitment to preserving communities and protecting residents from displacement.” 

When the program launched, funding limits prevented all qualified applicants from being admitted in 2024. But Invest Atlanta has since secured additional resources, and prior-year applicants who were not selected will now be eligible for reconsideration. No new applications will be required. Invest Atlanta will re-review existing submissions using previously provided information.

“Our seniors should not have to choose between staying in their homes and keeping up with rising costs,” says Dr. Eloisa Klementich, president and CEO of Invest Atlanta. “Many of these homeowners, including our oldest recipient at 104 years young, have lived in their neighborhoods for decades, contributed to their growth and helped shape the Atlanta we know today. We have a responsibility to listen, respond and ensure that long-time residents can continue to live in their community and the homes they cherish.”

The Anti-Displacement Tax Relief Fund is supported by $14 million in private funding, including contributions from the Centennial Yards Housing Trust Fund, and is administered in partnership with FORWARD, which works with governments and organizations to deliver resources and funding to communities using human-centered technology and customized solutions.

Since 2024, Invest Atlanta has approved 425 senior homeowners for the program, helping them manage rising housing costs.  At the end of September 2025, the program paid more than $30,000 in property tax relief, and over $40,000 the year before.
