Residents wonder about future of Church Street Manor
No plans to redevelop Gainesville apartments at this time

Recently Church Street Manor residents received letters notifying them the current Section 8 contract will not be renewed when it expires in May 2017. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development prefers that a five-year Section 8 renewal agreement be signed, but the owners want to go year-to-year instead, which prompted the required notice.
Residents of Church Street Manor in Gainesville have received the notice before. By now, it serves mostly as a reminder that they may one day have to move. And that's a daunting prospect for many living there given the shortage of affordable housing across Hall County.
