Advantage
Housing support strengthens APD’s ability to attract new officers.

Unity Place provides affordable apartment housing for Atlanta Police Department recruits and officers, making it easier to live in the city.
By making in-city living more attainable, Unity Place helps APD recruit and retain officers, improve morale, strengthen APD’s culture of community policing, and support safer neighborhoods.
For many recruits, affordable housing can make the difference between choosing Atlanta or going somewhere else.
Unity Place helps recruits and officers live closer to the communities they serve, build familiarity with Atlanta neighborhoods, and establish long-term roots in the city. That supports a stronger, more stable police force and a safer city.
By helping recruits and officers live in Atlanta, Unity Place supports:
- Lower crime
- Better officer morale
- Stronger community policing
- Better recruitment and retention
- Greater neighborhood stability
- Increased officer presence in the city
Unity Place reflects APF’s broader commitment to strengthening officer support and building a safer city through practical, people-centered solutions.
