Overall, affordable housing investments were found to improve health and quality of life, and increase opportunity for Georgia residents. To capitalize on this gain, numerous opportunities were identified through research, analysis, and stakeholder input, with suggested alterations to scoring criteria categorized into three major topic areas.
