This story from GPB News introduces the latest project in Atlanta’s Rapid Rehousing initiatives.

“On Wednesday Atlanta officially opened its latest rapid rehousing development for the city’s homeless residents. Speakers at the event included Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Chief of Staff Courtney English, Deputy Chief Housing Officer Chatiqua Ellison, and Partners for HOME CEO Cathryn Vassell. The Waterworks village includes two buildings made of shipping containers with three floors of studio apartments. The project was a collaboration with Atlanta Watershed to develop underused property near the Atlanta City Water Works Reservoir. All 100 units are wheelchair accessible and include a restroom and full-size refrigerator. A third of the units will also have access to on-site medical care through Project HEAL (Homeless Empowerment through Accessible Living). It’s a collaboration with six Atlanta area hospitals.” #homeless #homelessness #homelessawareness #compassion @cityofdecaturga @cityofatlantaga @andreforatlanta @partnersforhome @gpbmedia @atlantica_properties @invest_atlanta
