About Home Empower Series: In 2020 – thanks to generous funding from Wells Fargo and Bank of America – ABP will work with best-in-class strategic partners to host a series of free workshops designed to help familiarize legacy residents of Southwest Atlanta neighborhoods with the tools and resources available to help them remain in their homes amid the challenges of rising property taxes and neighborhood change.

Additional workshops will focus on educating renters about their tenant rights and how those who rent currently can best prepare themselves to move toward home ownership. An existing homeowner resource guide will be updated and revised to address the needs of both renters and homeowners.
Learn more about the series and our partners.
