Atlanta would be the first local government in Georgia to pass a law prohibiting discrimination against housing applicants based on housing vouchers, according to the Poverty & Race Research Action Council, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit group. At least 80 cities, counties and states have approved such measures, the Poverty & Race group said, including Chicago, Memphis and New York City, and the states California, Oklahoma and Utah. No Southeastern state has an anti-discrimination law for housing vouchers.
