Presenter outlines program for $160,000 manufactured homes to address attainable housing
Summary
A presenter from St. Vincent de Paul described a program offering manufactured homes built by Legacy Homes (Eatonton) priced at $160,000 to qualified buyers and asked the city to consider siting them in blighted areas of Union Point.
Mike Sleeth, identified as representing St. Vincent de Paul and Greene County Family Connection, presented a program that would make manufactured homes available to middle-income buyers in Union Point. He said the homes are produced by Legacy Homes in Eatonton and indicated the homes would sell for $160,000 to qualified applicants; he asked the city to consider supporting placements in areas currently characterized as blighted.
Council members did not take formal action at the meeting; Darius Johnson later commented during public comment that he opposed placing manufactured homes in the city because, in his view, they would "send the message" that Union Point is a lower-income community. Mr. Sleeth offered to be available for further information and site details if the council requests additional follow-up.
