Terri Lee is the president and CEO of Atlanta Housing. This submission is part of Atlanta Gives Thanks 2025, in which local business and civic leaders told Atlanta Business Chronicle why they’re thankful in 2025.

This season, I’m especially thankful for the ability to keep Atlanta families stably housed because housing is the foundation for opportunity. At Atlanta Housing, we’re working tirelessly to increase the supply of affordable housing in the city, while also investing in workforce development and job access to help our residents achieve long-term economic self-sufficiency. I’m grateful to play a role in helping families build toward a better future.
