From the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA):
If the communities you serve have been suffering financial hardship, we have provided several resources for you to share with those individuals and families. The Georgia Rental Assistance (GRA) program can provide financial assistance to those who have fallen behind on rent and utilities.
The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) launched this program in March 2021 to assist landlords and renters affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this new update provides an opportunity to provide much-needed financial assistance.
