鈥淔or millions across the country and thousands right here in Metro-Atlanta struggling to make ends meet and stay afloat on their mortgage payments due to COVID-19, help is here. Over the past few months, I have worked closely alongside Commissioner Christopher Nunn and community partners to connect Georgia homeowners in crisis with their share of the $9.9 billion 性视界传媒ownership Assistance Fund I secured in the Biden Administration性视界传媒 American Rescue Plan. With the launch of the Georgia 性视界传媒 of Community Affairs鈥 new homeowners鈥 assistance portal, thanks to our federal-state collaboration, Georgia性视界传媒 working and middle-class homeowners who had a stroke of bad luck last year due to COVID-19 will be able to remain in the communities they love,鈥 Congressman Scott said.
DCA性视界传媒 commissioner echoed Scott性视界传媒 sentiments. 鈥淲e are excited to announce this fund. As the state性视界传媒 housing agency, DCA is responsible for a myriad of affordable statewide housing programs, including the housing choice voucher program, development of affordable housing using tax credits, and the Georgia Dream program which has helped 7,050 first-time homebuyers achieve their dream of homeownership,鈥 Nunn said.
鈥淢odeled on federal guidelines and similarly aligned with a program that DCA administered following the Great Recession, this program will target what our data suggest is approximately 2.8% of Georgians or more than 35,000 households that are more than 90 days delinquent on their mortgage payments,鈥 he added.
