Grant program to help repair aging homes called agodsend
1126Affordable1
Johnny and Mattie Harris have lived in their home for over 40 years raising a family and now entertaining their visiting grandchildren. To help families keep their aging homes on a solid foundation, a few Hall County homeowners have received grants to improve the conditions of their homes.
Johnny Harris once hunted deer and rabbit and squirrel in the dense forests behind the home he has shared with his wife, Mattie, since it was first built in Morningside Heights on Gainesville’s south side in the 1970s. It was a little slice of heaven for Johnny and Mattie, who grew up in the days of segregation. “Nobody bothered nobody,” Johnny said.
