The Georgia Ports Authority’s Workforce Housing Initiative is already showing some results in Savannah. So far, 178 families have been able to repair, buy or build a home thanks to the program, with nearly $1.7 million committed to the program since the start of the program in September 2023. The program focuses on housing improvements for residents of neighborhoods in the areas around the Port of Savannah’s Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal. Additionally, port employees can receive down payment assistance for first time home purchases in the Savannah region.
“A strong community depends on strong families and stable neighborhoods,” said Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) President and CEO Griff Lynch. “When the people who keep Georgia’s economy moving can afford to put down roots in the communities around us, everyone benefits.”
