Georgia awards second round of grants through new rural housing program

ATLANTA — The state awarded more than $9 million Monday to support more than 400 housing units in four Georgia communities, the second round of grants through a program Gov. Brian Kemp created last year.

The Rural Workforce Housing Initiative, which Kemp announced during his annual State of the State address last January, includes $35.7 million to help spur the development of critically needed workforce housing across the state. The first round of grants totaling nearly $8.4 million was announced last September.
