Atlanta’s Habitat for Humanity is exploring a new type of project to serve the metro area, using this method in response to the rising demand for housing.

Habitat is known for building single-family homes, one at a time, over its 40-plus years of operations. 

According to the CEO of Atlanta’s Habitat chapter, Rosalyn Merrick, land throughout the area has become expensive and scarce.
