Purpose
Help affordable‐housing developers locate high-potential sites—and help policy-makers spot equity gaps—by replicating the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) scoring rules in code and mapping the results.
This repository contains data and scripts related to replicating and mapping scoring indicators based on the 2024 QAP.
