AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The historic Turpin neighborhood will soon welcome more affordable homes after Augusta Habitat for Humanity was awarded $1.85 million in federal funding this week.
The grant will fund the construction of at least 12 homes in the area.
“Habitat for Humanity applied for federal funding, and they were awarded the funding,” said District 2 Commissioner Stacy Pulliam.
Reviving a historic community
The Turpin neighborhood was once home to professionals, including educators, doctors, and lawyers.
“These big professionals that lived mostly over this way,” one resident said of the neighborhood’s history.
Pulliam described the area’s former prominence as “its grand days of glory, when it was the place.”
The project brings together city organizers and community partners through the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing, or GICH.
“We have so many partners. We have the Housing Authority on board. We have a representative from the Hub on board,” Pulliam said. “There’s so many great partners at the table that’s helping pull all of this together.”
Federal support and future plans
The project received backing from Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
Habitat for Humanity, with support from GICH, focused its application on Turpin Hill intentionally, as officials say the community had been needing to be addressed for years.
With Habitat for Humanity continuing to advocate for more funds, Pulliam said their motivation could lead to additional housing development in the future.
“We keep going and going and going,” she said. “Now we can do 20. Now we can do multifamily. So it’s fueling our fire to get more housing, but not just housing, to clean up the area.”
