Georgia officials and Habitat for Humanity team up for continued affordable housing expansion in Clayton County

Several local officials joined U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff Monday for an announcement allocating $500,000 dollars to Hannah Springs, a low-cost subdivision in Lovejoy, Georgia. 

The Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity is leading the project. They say the money will support the continued construction of starter homes in Hannah Springs, which started in 2017. 

Tanjills Sawyer is new to the neighborhood and is a first-time homebuyer. She said finding housing resources through Habitat for Humanity was like a second chance for her family.
