The Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project returns to Atlanta after nearly 40 years

Along Langston Avenue, the sun bounces off hundreds of blue hard hats as folks with tool belts hammer and saw wood for a row of soon-to-be homes.  

Here, the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project is underway. The effort is a week-long venture, May 3-8, that will produce houses for 24 homeowners in Sylvan Hills, a southwest Atlanta neighborhood.

And it’s back in Atlanta for the first time since 1988.
