Our History

Established in 1991, ANDP is a nonprofit, affordable housing advocacy organization that was created as a result of the merger of the Metropolitan Atlanta Chamber of Commerce’s Housing Resource Center and the Atlanta Economic Development Corporation’s Neighborhood Development Department. The impetus for ANDP's creation was 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 actually 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.

Throughout its 15 year history, ANDP has been engaged in developing housing for people of moderate to low incomes. This dedicated work has resulted in the investment, building or renovation of more than 8,000 housing units in the Atlanta metropolitan region.
