He has worked tirelessly to address the housing needs of Georgia's 4th District by advocating for increased funding for affordable housing programs, protecting tenants' rights, and supporting policies that combat housing discrimination. Congressman Johnson has backed legislation to expand access to housing assistance, prevent evictions, and fund programs that provide critical resources to first-time homebuyers and low-income families. His efforts have also focused on supporting foreclosure prevention programs and funding emergency rental assistance, especially for those impacted by economic downturns and the COVID-19 pandemic.
