ATLANTA - Agencies in Gainesville and three places in northeast Georgia will be getting part of $5.5 million in Supportive Housing Awards from the state and federal governments.
The funds were allocated to providers delivering supportive housing and related services to homeless and other eligible persons. Both state and federal monies will fund awards.
"President Bush and Governor Sonny Perdue have both committed substantial resources to address issues of homelessness. Since 1987, DCA has provided guidance for Georgia on this important quality of life issue that touches every community," said state department of Community Affairs Commissioner Mike Beatty.
"...DCA is pleased to join HUD and the State Housing Trust Fund Commission in providing these much needed funds. Based on published criteria, 151 agencies throughout the state have been selected to receive funding to support operational costs, technical assistance and a wide range of related social services. We are especially pleased that these awards will go directly to those front-line providers that work in Georgia's trenches, providing services to individuals and families without homes of their own," added Beatty.
Local agencies serving Northeast Georgia are slated to receive awards totaling $24,000. Summary award information is presented below:
