To date, the Affordable Housing Fund has committed $2 million dollars to leverage an additional $16 million to create affordable housing in the Historic Pleasant Hill Neighborhood. It also is using $325,000 to provide a loan for Habitat for Humanity to leverage $490,000 in funds for three single-family homes.

The Affordable Housing Fund was originally created and funded with a $7.5 million investment by Macon-Bibb County from the American Rescue Plan Act to be used as a match for other funding sources to create more affordable housing for people and families. It is part of a larger initiative involving multiple organizations, including NewTown Macon, Historic Macon Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Knight Foundation, and Peyton Anderson Foundation. All total, nearly $12 million has been invested by Macon-Bibb County to help create affordable housing.
