Georgia Affordable Housing Corporation The pledges are used to fund permanent loans for multifamily housing State of georgia Affordable housing construction has been increased by the http://www.georgiaaffordablehousing.org/products.asp
Extractions: Hall Housing Investments, Inc Loan Products GAHC operates a loan consortium comprised of Georgia area financial institutions. Financial institutions participating in the GAHC Loan Consortium provide capital via membership pledges to the organization. The pledges are used to fund permanent loans for multi-family housing developments. Both private and nonprofit developers are eligible to apply for GAHC financing. GAHC administers and services the loans it originates from the time of loan application to the final payment, and the financial institutions that provide the capital for these loans receive their pro rated portion of the loan payment from GAHC. By consolidating individual participations, the GAHC Loan Consortium leverages the underwriting and cost of money risks associated with full commitment, long term lending. In this way, partial investments also provide financial institutions (including those of moderate asset size) with the opportunity to participate in multi-family affordable housing lending on a larger-scale. In addition, their investment risk is reduced because funding comes from several sources. Similarly, the loan-to-value ratios associated with GAHC loans are generally lower because of the increased equity investment that results from the incorporation of low income housing tax credits, HOME funds, or other related affordable housing subsidies.

The United States and the City also agree that all current elected officials of the City have voluntarily received training on the requirements of the Fair Housing Act. The City and the United States desire to avoid costly and protracted litigation and agree that this action should be compromised, settled and resolved without further litigation. Nothing in this agreement is or will be construed as an admission of any wrongdoing by the City of Pooler.

After the demise of CETA, we continued as the grantee for its replacement, JTPA (Job Training Partnership Act), Section 402, and new the Workforce Investment Act, (WIA) Section 167. Following after the employment and training program, others were added to our menu - noticeably, head start and housing. Our employment and training program normally serves more than 600 farmworkers annually; these farmworkers come into the office seeking a wide variety of help and assistance. The majority of the help and assistance is in the form of supportive services. Over the past few years, more and more migrant farmworkers are settling out and becoming seasonal farmworkers or seeking non-agricultural employment, and employers across a broad spectrum of occupations are very receptive to hiring farmworkers. Telamon staff has been quite successful in accessing farmworkers to local training institutions for formalized training and even customized training when such needs have been developed. Employment and training activities are administered from our offices in Blackshear, Douglas, Dublin, Lyons, Statesboro and Valdosta. As a partner of the WIA system One-Stop System, access of core services are made available to customers not only farmworkers, but others as well.
