Mayor Andre Dickens unveiled a $200 million affordable housing bond proposal Tuesday morning, the largest single-purpose bond the city has ever put before voters.

If approved in the November general election, the bond would fund roughly 8,000 units of affordable housing over the next six years, with priority for renters earning less than $50,000 a year and homebuyers earning less than $80,000 a year.

The proposal is the centerpiece of the mayor’s second-term housing agenda and the most expensive ballot measure in Atlanta since the 2015 Renew Atlanta infrastructure bond.
