An Atlanta housing group has won a $1 million federal grant to buy and fix up vacant homes for low-income families.
The Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, a 25-year-old non-profit that is part of a national network, was one of 32 organizations in the nation to receive an award from the Department of the Treasury.
“These funds will enable us to complete more than 100 homes in the next five years, while providing down payment assistance to low-income homebuyers,” said John O’Callaghan, president and chief executive of the group.
