Southwest Georgia Housing Task Force hosts 24th annual Housing Conference

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) – On Tuesday, potential homebuyers, landlords and renters came together in Albany to navigate the challenges of affordable housing availability.

It was part of the Southwest Georgia Housing Task Force’s 24th annual housing conference. A panel of experts covered key topics such as building and developing new housing and finding resources for repairing homes. These are projects that are happening year-round.

“The areas that we deal with it may be the grant writing, it may be with dealing with developers, it may be with first-time home buyers, it may be with rental, it may be with fair housing or something in the area of what the need is. We really work to understand the need and meet the need,” said Patricia Fletcher-Edwards, branch manager of the NID Housing Council Agency.

Edwards says it has become even more critical to have these roundtable discussions in this climate of affordable housing.
