Atlanta, Ga. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff continues working to help Georgia families buy and afford homes.
Today, Sen. Ossoff announced a new Federal grant funding opportunity to help local communities build more housing units, drive costs down, and help families afford homes.
The Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) program provides Federal grant funding — through a competitive application process — to help build more housing, including developing, evaluating, and implementing housing policy plans; improving housing strategies; and facilitating affordable housing production and preservation.
Eligible applicants are State and local governments and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). Grant applications are due by October 15, 2024, at 11:59pm ET and can be submitted online here.
“Georgia families urgently need more affordable housing,” Sen. Ossoff said. “I encourage Georgia communities to contact me and my office with any questions about this grant opportunity.”
Sen. Ossoff continues working to help Georgians afford homes.
Earlier this month, Sen. Ossoff introduced the Access to Homeownership Act to help families afford homes by including their positive rental payment history in reports to credit bureaus, helping boost credit ratings.
In April, Sen. Ossoff delivered Federal resources to Atlanta Habitat for Humanity, supporting its ongoing work in the Browns Mill Village Development, a mixed-income community of owner-occupied homes in Atlanta. He also delivered Federal resources to Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity supporting its work in the Lovejoy neighborhood.
In March, Sen. Ossoff convened a U.S. Senate Human Rights Subcommittee Hearing in Roswell to receive testimony from renters and experts about the mistreatment of tenants by landlords in Georgia and nationwide and threats to the safety of children in dangerous living conditions.
