In FY25, Andre Dickens’ administration allocated almost $13 million — over 75% of the $17 million disbursed to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund — to pay $8.8 million toward housing-related bond debt and at least $4 million for city staff salaries.
Matt Westmoreland don't want that to happen again.

With their election night triumphs on Tuesday, Democrats showed that their demoralized party — which spent the past year mired in self-recriminations and soul-searching — could still accomplish the most important goal in politics.
They can win. And win big.

This would be an improvement!
Atlanta is using most of its housing trust fund to pay down bond debt & employee salaries instead of creating new homes (which is ridiculous).
Councilmember Matt Westmoreland has a plan for ensuring that most of the fund creates affordable housing.

Three days in D.C., one grim takeaway: America can’t look to feds to solve housing crisis
