Chatsworth to receive $222,727 for housing improvements

May 11—The Housing Authority of the city of Chatsworth will receive $222,727 as part of $80 million in federal housing investments in Georgia, according to a press release from Georgia U.S. Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

"The Public Housing Repair fund will allow public housing authorities to modernize or develop public housing for individuals, families and seniors," the press release said.

"These new federal investments secured in the government funding legislation will help working families, support local governments strained by the housing crisis and lower costs," Warnock said in the press release.

"Georgia families urgently need more affordable housing," Ossoff said in the press release. "That's why Sen. Warnock and I brought Republicans and Democrats together to help increase affordable housing supply for families across Georgia."

"Specifically, public housing authorities can utilize this funding for the development, financing, modernization and management improvements of public housing developments," the press release said. "Housing authorities can use the funding to complete large-scale improvements such as replacing roofs or making energy-efficient upgrades to heating systems and installing water conservation measures."
