Gov. Kemp Awards Over $30M in Second Round of Homelessness and Housing Insecurity Grants
Atlanta, GA Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced the second round of grant awards for housing initiatives across Georgia focused on fighting homelessness and housing insecurity exacerbated by the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of $30,833,309 will be awarded from the American Rescue Plan and the State Fiscal Recovery Fund for the 8 projects included in this round of announcements. This is on top of the $62 million in awards for this program announced last month.
"When I first took office, I promised to make Georgia a state where all people can succeed, no matter their background," said Governor Brian Kemp. "The pandemic showed the great level of resiliency and determination Georgians have, and the funds we're awarding today will further help those still struggling in the aftermath of COVID-19 regain stability and housing security."
Projects receiving awards include construction and renovation of affordable housing for elderly residents as well as at-risk and low-income individuals; rental and housing units for special needs or disabled residents; and assistance for veterans experiencing homelessness. Housing insecurity issues were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to more individuals and families facing uncertainty about their living situation. Each project was chosen following a competitive application process.
