Commission signs contingent letter supporting Manchester's GICH application
Summary
The board approved a draft letter of support for the City of Manchester's application to the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing (GICH), contingent on legal review of the letter's wording.
Staff presented a draft letter supporting Manchester’s application to the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing — a three‑year technical assistance program administered by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs — and asked the board to authorize a letter from the county supporting Manchester’s participation. Staff said the program would help Manchester develop housing strategies, strengthen grant competitiveness, and foster partnerships among local governments, nonprofits and developers (SEG 652–667).
A commissioner asked that the draft be sent to legal first to confirm wording; the board approved the letter contingent on legal review and authorized the chair to sign the finalized version. Staff indicated a county letterhead draft was in the packet and that legal review would be arranged first thing the next morning.
