The atlanta civic circle's housing affordability project has published over 50 in-depth articles on issues of housing and income inequality in the metro atlanta region, reaching thousands of local residents and voters. Our website has become a one-stop resource for anyone in the metro atlanta area interested in the topic of housing, and we have built numerous partnerships with affordable housing providers and advocates in the region. In september 2020, we hired a reporter to launch our democracy project. Through in-depth articles, an online digital resource library, streamed candidate forums, and an enhanced social media strategy, we anticipate reaching tens of thousands of voters across atlanta before, during, and after the upcoming november elections.
