Atlanta Mayor Dickens Makes Statement on Passing of Phyllis Lawhorn

Rainbow Village receives $1.1 million federal grant to expand housing and services for homeless families

Rainbow Village is receiving a $1.1 million federal investment to help expand housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness, marking a significant milestone in the nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to address housing instability across Metro Atlanta. Approximately two years into its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign, the organization was awarded the funding through the Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding (CPF) process, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding was secured through the efforts of Senator Raphael Warnock. The investment comes as Rainbow Village prepares for one of the most transformative expansions in its 35-year history. Plans call for the construction of 36 additional apartments on its campus, increasing its residential capacity from 30 to 66 families. Beyond expanding its housing options, the federal funding will help strengthen the organization’s programs, services and infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of families it serves. “Too many Georgia families are struggling to keep up with rising housing costs, making the need for affordable housing increasingly urgent,” Warnock said. “I’m glad this federal funding is going towards Rainbow Village Inc. to support the construction of transitional housing for Georgians experiencing homelessness in Gwinnett County. Affordable housing provides

GA's first openly transgender lawmaker heads to capitol. Who are they?

The midterm elections in Georgia were nothing short of historic. Democrat Jon Ossoff dominated the U.S. Senate race , securing another six years in Washington and pushing MAGA Republican Mike Collins out of public office (at least for now). Former mayor of Atlanta Keisha Lance Bottoms defeated billionaire Rick Jackson to not only become the first Democratic governor in more than three decades in Georgia, but also the state's first Black governor and the first Black woman to ever hold a governor's seat in the United States. Democrats also won all of the major state-wide races from Secretary of State to the Public Service Commission, solidifying Georgia as a key wave of the "Blue Tsunami" seen across the country. But while these major races secured their spots in the history books, another historic race was playing out in DeKalb County, part of the Atlanta metro. Bentley Hudgins dominates Georgia State House District 90 Democrat Bentley Hudgins , an openly transgender and nonbinary lawmaker, dominated their race for Georgia's 90th District seat in the state house, taking home more than 27,000 votes on Atlanta's east side. Hudgins was facing Republican Samantha Boston, who secured just 7.5% of the vote in the
