Spotlight On

Mission: Our mission is to promote the concept and implement the development of mixed income communities that result in the equitable distribution of affordable housing throughout the metropolitan Atlanta region.

About the Organization: Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, Inc. (ANDP) is an affordable housing advocacy organization. It was created in 1991 to address the diminishing supply of affordable housing in the metropolitan Atlanta region, as well as to help reclaim declining neighborhoods in its core.

Today, ANDP works with a dynamic network of businesses and organizations to invest in, advocate for, and participate in the bricks and mortar building process of new affordable, mixed income housing and community revitalization. This network encompasses lenders, for-profit and non-profit developers, public and private agencies, foundations, and Community Development Corporations (CDCs)—all working for positive change at the neighborhood level.

ANDP engages in developing housing for people of low to moderate incomes, and it is this dedicated work that has resulted in the investment in, building or renovation of more than 8,000 housing units in the Atlanta metropolitan region.

How the Program Works:
Three Primary Programs:

• Housing Development: Building new and rehabilitating existing multi and single-family homes as the sole developer or in partnerships.
• Housing Finance: Providing access to capital to rebuild and rejuvenate communities in Metro Atlanta, through the Community Redevelopment Loan and Investment Fund (CRLIF)
• Research, Policy, & Information: Involved in researching practices and policies that affect affordable housing, through the coordination and publication of such efforts

Funding Needs: As a 501(c)(3), ANDP’s work in advocating for affordable housing and mixed income development would not be possible without financial partnerships and donations. ANDP relies upon individual donations, corporate contributions, and foundation grants for support.

All contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the law.


Every month, the "Spotlight On" highlights the activities of a different 501(c)3 nonprofit organization serving the Southeast region defined as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, with a special emphasis on Georgia. The selection of organizations for the "Spotlight On" is based on criteria such as programmatic interests, geographic focus, and size, to ensure the broadest possible representation of the region's nonprofit sector.
