A major component of Georgia ACT’s work is Voter Engagement and Civic Participation, recognizing that housing stability and civic involvement are closely connected. In 2025, Georgia ACT supported voters across urban and rural communities by providing nonpartisan election information, encouraging participation in local and municipal elections, expanding digital outreach, and partnering with organizations such as VoteRiders to assist individuals in securing valid voter identification. These efforts reached communities across Georgia and helped reduce barriers to participation, particularly for renters and housing-insecure households.

Georgia ACT also leads the Next Gen Young Leaders Program, an eight-week leadership development initiative for young adults ages 18 to 24 that provides training in housing policy, advocacy, civic engagement, financial literacy, nonprofit career pathways, and personal development. In fall 2025, 11 participants from colleges across Georgia completed the program and received stipends, gaining practical skills and increased confidence to engage in housing advocacy and community leadership. Georgia ACT continues to support alumni through volunteer and internship opportunities statewide.

In addition, Georgia ACT is preparing to launch the Front Porch Project, a community engagement initiative focused on elevating housing leaders with lived experience of homelessness and housing insecurity through storytelling, education, and dialogue that strengthens grassroots advocacy and informs policy conversations.
