Social Security in the United States has announced excellent news for many Americans, especially for residents of Atlanta, Georgia. This is the tax relief program known as the "Anti-Displacement Tax Relief Fund," promoted by Invest Atlanta. This aims to ease the property tax burden for the most vulnerable homeowners.

This program's main goal is to help homeowners in Atlanta face the increase in property taxes. This increase has been driven by the growth and revaluation of properties in the city.

With a $10M fund, financed in part by the Centennial Yards Housing Trust Fund, the program will cover any increase in property taxes above a set base over a period of 20 years for qualifying applicants.

Who can apply in Atlanta? SSA makes it clear

To be eligible for this program, applicants must meet the following requirements. For example, they must be at least 60 years old as of May 1, 2025, and have been the owner and resident of a home in the city of Atlanta since 2015.

According to SSA, applications for the program are open until today, May 31, 2025. It is crucial for interested parties to submit their application before the deadline, as no applications will be accepted after this period.

How to apply? A truly significant relief for these residents

Interested parties can submit their application online through Invest Atlanta's official platform. In addition, informational sessions have been organized to help applicants understand the process and program requirements.

With Atlanta's rapid growth and development, many long-term residents, especially older adults, face the threat of being displaced. This is all due to the increase in housing costs and property taxes. This program aims to provide significant relief to these residents, ensuring that they can remain in their homes and communities.
