Karen Brackett and daughter Chloe, 4, wait outside the Green Hunter Homes community center in April for a meeting with Georgia Community Affairs officials. Many residents of the subsidized apartment community are still looking for new living arrangements after receiving vouchers that will allow them to get subsidized housing elsewhere.
Karen Brackett and her 4-year-old daughter, Chloe, have finally moved out of the Atlanta Street public housing complex in Gainesville. After the first night in her new home, Brackett said she felt as rested as any time she could remember since the move began. Mother and daughter, with a voucher in hand that would subsidize their next home, settled in Athens after searching fruitlessly for weeks to find a place locally.
