Five Georgia communities have been selected to receive assistance with their housing needs through the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing, a public-private initiative focused on helping communities grow their economies through housing-related solutions. Liberty County, Cedartown, Madison, Pine Mountain and Trion will begin the three-year program in February. Through training and technical instruction during a series of retreats, community-housing teams design and implement strategies to enhance their economies as well as the quality of life for their citizens.
