www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County is set to get $7.5 million from the federal government to help Gwinnettians who need rental assistance and help getting access to affordable housing as part of the American Rescue Plan, U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, both D-Ga., have announced.
The new stimulus plan included $5 billion for the HOME Investment Partnership Program and Warnock and Ossoff said $140 million from that pot is coming to Georgia in the form of federal grants. That money will be spread across 12 jurisdictions in Georgia — one of them being Gwinnett — as well as a Georgia Non-Entitlement Fund that will be available to non-Metropolitan Statistical Area principal cities that have less than 50,000 residents and counties with less than 200,000 residents.
