The Atlanta Affordable Housing and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Initiative is a multi-product program designed to promote and support the development of ground-up mixed-income TOD projects.

Sound Transit and the City of Bellevue worked together on a plan to integrate the OMF East into the city’s plans for the developing BelRed corridor.
The planning programs will support the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) stated goals of increasing access to affordable housing options.
The first $25 million will fund pre-development activities like site due diligence, engineering, and permitting, while the remaining $75 million will support the construction of new affordable housing, which is expected to begin within five years.
The competitive grant funds are provided through FTA’s Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development Planning.
Projects involve the construction of commercial, residential, or mixed-use projects near transit or on transit system-owned land.
