Washington D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Jon Ossoff (D-GA) announced that they secured $80,049,510 in federal housing investments for Georgia through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) FY 2024 Public Housing Capital Fund Formula Grant Awards. The investments will flow to 149 localities across the state and will provide affordable housing options for Georgians of all income levels.
“Housing means dignity, safety, and security, and as a Senator who grew up in public housing, I know that increasing the availability and improving the conditions of affordable housing are critical to helping Georgians across the state establish a solid foundation to build a healthy future,” said Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock. “These new federal investments secured in the government funding legislation will help working families, support local governments strained by the housing crisis, and lower costs. Senator Ossoff and I won’t stop fighting to strengthen access to affordable housing across Georgia.”
“Georgia families urgently need more affordable housing. That’s why Senator Warnock and I brought Republicans and Democrats together to help increase affordable housing supply for families across Georgia,” said Senator Ossoff.
The Public Housing Repair fund will allow public housing authorities (PHAs) to modernize or develop public housing for individuals, families, and seniors. Specifically, PHAs can utilize this funding for the development, financing, modernization, and management improvements of public housing developments. Housing authorities can use the funding to complete large-scale improvements such as replacing roofs or making energy-efficient upgrades to heating systems and installing water conservation measures.
Since joining the Senate, Senator Warnock has been working tirelessly to address Georgia’s affordable housing crisis. In March, Senator Warnock reintroduced the Downpayment Toward Equity Act to provide downpayment assistance to first-generation homebuyers and help make it possible for every Georgian and American to achieve the dream of homeownership. Also in March, the Senator voted for the Fiscal Year 2024 government funding bill which increases America’s housing supply, strengthens housing affordability and addresses the homelessness crisis, including by: increasing the supply of affordable housing nationwide with funding to build 10,000 new rental and homebuyer units; extending funding for the Yes In My Backyard (“YIMBY”) grant program to support efforts to increase our nation’s housing supply and lower housing costs through state and local zoning changes; and delivering $275 million in new funding for Homeless Assistance Grants to help address homelessness in communities across the country and providing new resources to better connect people experiencing homelessness with health care services. In the past year, the Senator has secured nearly $80 million in housing investments to provide affordable housing options for Georgians at all income levels and repair hazardous housing conditions in low-income housing units.
