KEY TALKING POINTS
What are TADs?
Tax Allocation Districts (TADs) capture the increase in property tax revenue from a designated area and reinvest it back into that community — funding affordable housing, infrastructure, and economic development.
Why extend TADs?
Without extensions, $5.5 billion in committed investment for Atlanta's most vulnerable neighborhoods will be lost. TAD extensions ensure long-term funding for anti-displacement programs.
Who decides?
Three governing bodies must approve: Atlanta City Council, Fulton County Board of Commissioners, and Atlanta Public Schools Board of Education. Your voice matters at all three levels.
What's at stake?
Atlanta's Black population dropped from 67% to 47% in just 20 years. Over 22,000 Black residents have been displaced from historically Black neighborhoods. Without action, this trend accelerates.
