Representing an industry that provides homes to 1.4 million Georgians, the professional apartment management members of the Georgia Apartment Association (GAA) directly employ more than 5,000 Georgians, and the businesses that support the industry provide more than 100,000 jobs. Our members contribute more than $1.45 billion in taxes and other revenue for local governments, and every 100 new apartment homes developed generates an additional $384,000 in taxes and an additional 47 local jobs. Our commitment to the community produces one of the largest food drives in the nation, contributing nearly 4 million meals in Georgia last year alone.
