March 3, 2023 – Things are getting “meta” around here. Savannah Agenda is on the agenda.
Thanks to your contributions to Savannah Agenda’s fundraising campaign, a $3,000 check will be presented to the city on Thursday for affordable housing initiatives.
The contribution to the Savannah Affordable Housing Fund is expected to assist about six to 10 seniors who need home repairs by covering a $200-$500 funding “gap” typically needed to leverage financing, according to Anita Smith-Dixon, Community Housing Services Agency Director.
“When you talk to the homeowner who didn’t know how she was going to stop her roof from leaking, you just presented a million dollar check,” Smith-Dixon said.
CHSA Inc. is a partnership between the city, local banks, and community leaders that helps fund the creation and retention of affordable rental housings.
Savannah Agenda was established in 2019 to help residents stay informed, engaged and involved in improving the community they love.
