Eastside Atlanta residents on Tuesday night overwhelmingly rejected a rezoning proposal for a 47 micro-unit apartment complex to provide supportive housing to homeless people over age 62. Many said the proposal is too dense for a residential neighborhood and voiced concerns about traffic congestion and public safety. Stryant wants to build the affordable housing complex at 88 Howard St., a vacant lot next to Turner Monumental AME Church, which owns the land. “This is something that communities across the country are trying to do right now,” added Patenaude, a longtime affordable housing advocate. Some neighbors doubted Stryant’s commitment to making the project permanent supportive housing.
