Cobb County has received federal Community Development Block Grant funds for affordable housing for senior citizens.
These units are available at Walton Renaissance on Henderson, 55 Henderson St. SW, Marietta due to a partnership between Cobb County’s HOME Investment Partnerships Program and Cole Street Development Corporation.
Designed only for residents ages 62 and older, the housing community consists of 150 age-restricted, mixed-income apartments, according to a county statement.
The HOME Program is the largest federal block grant to state and local governments to develop affordable housing for low-income households with $800,000 in HOME Program funds and $9.75 million in low-income housing tax credits.
In Cobb, this rehabilitation project employed more than 30 businesses through partnerships with subcontractors with each contractor employing an average of 10 people per job.
Local suppliers also were used for construction project materials.
