Habersham group included in new state DCA program

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has announced the selected participants in the state’s inaugural Supportive Housing Institute and a Habersham County domestic violence treatment center is one of them. In all, five teams and two groups of individual entities representing housing developers and service providers were selected after a competitive application process.

This year marks the inaugural Georgia Supportive Housing Institute, a signature CSH program designed to kick start affordable and supportive housing development throughout the state. The rigorous Institute curriculum covers a number of topics for developing multi-family properties including design concepts, securing funding, ongoing operations, and service delivery. Georgia joins several other states that have leveraged the Institute to advance affordable and supportive housing in their communities. The Georgia Supportive Housing Institute is fully funded by the HOME American Rescue Plan Program.
