Neighborhoods in Westside Atlanta have experienced a decrease in crime overall, but their rates remain elevated when compared to the city as a whole.
A goal of the Westside Future Fund is to improve safety by decreasing violent crime and property vacancy. Check out the Westside Future Fund’s impact goals on our website.
