About Jamiel Neal Affordable Housing
The Need For Jamiel Neal Affordable Housing
According to Harvard University’s State of the Nation’s Housing 2025 report, despite a surge in new apartment construction, high rents have left more households than ever financially burdened and have fueled a sharp increase in homelessness. Meanwhile, reductions in federal housing support have created uncertainty around the availability of vital assistance programs.
Jamiel Neal Affordable Housing is committed to addressing these challenges by focusing efforts in Cobb County, Georgia—an area experiencing a significant housing shortage due to limited supply growth, population increases and rising costs.
Our Services
Cobb County is one of Georgia’s most affluent areas, with a median household income significantly higher than both the state and national averages. However, a recent report from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) revealed that housing affordability remains a top concern for residents, particularly among lower-income households struggling to keep up with rising costs. The Jamiel Neal Affordable Housing initiative aims to address this issue by providing quality housing options for families earning 30%, 50%, and 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Our Team
Through strategic partnerships with like-minded minority-owned businesses, Jamiel Neal Affordable Housing engages collaboratively in every phase of development, from planning and construction to maintenance and financial literacy education.
Providing Financial Awareness
Jamiel Neal Affordable Housing will provide quality housing for 264 households in Cobb County, Georgia, serving families earning between 30%, 50%, and 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). In exchange for below-market rental rates, residents will have the opportunity to participate in educational programs designed to strengthen their financial literacy.
Each quarter, the on-site business center will host classes covering essential topics such as credit management, taxes, real estate fundamentals, and velocity banking. The full curriculum spans two years, offering residents practical tools to build stronger financial foundations. Upon completing the program, residents will be better equipped to transition from affordable housing and secure independent housing without government assistance.
