Michael SaundersIn July 1996, the Governor and General Assembly made a vital decision to join together the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority (GHFA) with the Department of Community Affairs.
Today, the agency is acting together as one and is called the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
At present, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, also known as DCA, is operating a host of state and federal grant programs while serving as the state's leading agency in housing finance and development.
