A prevention-first framework for affordable housing
Affordable housing doesn't disappear overnight.
It expires — one property at a time.
#unflipped tracks the wave of expiring LIHTC affordability restrictions across Atlanta, Georgia, and the nation — and makes the case for intervening before the first speculative transaction, not after the damage is done.

415
LIHTC properties mapped across 19 counties. 92 expiring by 2028. Every one is a preservation opportunity — or a displacement event waiting to happen.
“We look at every affordable property with the same care and concern that a nature advocate looks at trees in the rainforest. Each time one is cut down, you feel it viscerally. Each time one is permanently saved, you breathe a sigh of relief.”
