Just three weeks into the launch of a new eviction prevention program for renters in Gwinnett County, people overseeing Project RESET say they’ve received  700 applications.

The CARES Act-funded program that works directly with landlords and renters was started out of a partnership between the Gwinnett County Magistrate Court, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and HomeFirst Gwinnett Initiative.
