At the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, we provide financial resources and technical assistance to help communities prepare for economic development opportunities and create workforce housing. Our team has a long history of working with local leaders to develop solutions for community issues and to create opportunities for communities to succeed in growing jobs through organic, small-business growth and through the location of economic development prospects. DCA's strengths lie in our ability to understand a community's challenges and opportunities and to collaborate with local governments, authorities, state agencies, and non-profits to develop locally-driven solutions.Whether it's community development grants or housing tax credits, help with planning or recruiting volunteers, everything we do at DCA shares a common goal: helping to build strong, vibrant communities.​ We do this through programs that include Downtown Development, Community Development Block Grants, Rental Assistance, First Time Homebuyer programs, Affordable Housing Tax Credits, Planning and Quality Growth, and many more.
