Georgia Intiative Community Housing
Our department is also working towards becoming a Georgia Initiative for Community Housing (GICH) community. Becoming a GICH community is very important to the redevelopment planning process and is something the department is excited about. GICH is designed to build community-wide consensus concerning housing and redevelopment endeavors, through public-private partnerships and a cross sector housing team made up of:
- Developers
- Financial professionals
- Local public officials
- Neighborhood leaders
- Real estate professionals
