  • Summary

  • Join us on "JLA Inside Out" as Shawn O'Neill and Dr. Kynesia Bishop from the Junior League of Atlanta's Advocacy and Initiatives Council discuss their mission and the push for the Safe at Home Act (HB 404). This legislation, which promotes habitable housing, is a focal point of our discussion as we explore how it could transform living conditions for families in Georgia.

    Legislative Update: The Georgia Senate has passed House Bill 404 with a decisive 44-2 vote, advancing tenant protections significantly. The bill, as highlighted by Matt Reynolds in "Senate passes bill aimed to boost protections for Georgia tenants" from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, mandates essential standards for rental homes. It provides a three day grace period for rent payments before evictions and caps security deposits. Now returning to the House for final agreement, HB 404 promises to make Georgia's housing market fairer and safer.
